Visit the Scholastic Parent & Child site where you can get a free KidQ app! This app is available through both iTunes and the Google Play Store, so you should be able to easily get it on any of your devices. This is a really fun app that facilitates conversation about all kinds of things from “why is the sky blue” to “what was the underground railroad?”
I have been using this app with my kids on and off for a few weeks and we love it. When we’re driving to the store or waiting for an appointment, one of my kids chooses a new question and we all try to guess before reading the “official” answer. It has given me lots of opportunity to teach them things that it’s never occurred to me to talk about and we’ve had some fascinating discussions because of it. As a huge bonus, it’s been an easy way to maintain a fun connection in a world where video games and homework rule.
Each day you’ll be notified of a new question that serves as a conversation starter and you’ll find yourself both teaching AND learning things! Download your free app now and you’ll see what I’m talking about!
