If you have children, or are a child yourself, then this list of search engines and other sites just for kids is for you.

Kid-Friendly Search Sites

  • Ask Jeeves for Kids. Features games, homework help, and more.
  • Yahooligans. Yahooligans not only offers filtered search results, but entertainment, music, and movie news; as well as homework help.
  • Kids Search Tools. From the Ramapo Catskill Library in New York State, this site helps you think of search words for a particular topic, find basic information, look at websites just for kids, and helps you search sites specifically for educators. A great site.
  • Internet Search Engines for Kids. This is a tremendous site, with links to not only search engines specifically for children, but web guides for kids, specialized search sites such as Animal Search and How Stuff Works, and family friendly search engines.
