Search Engines for Kids and Families

The following are a series of links to family appropriate search engines. Please note however that there is still always the small possibility that these sites may themselves allow inadvertent access to inappropriate material. WISE KIDS cannot make any guarantees in this respect.

Ask Jeeves for Kids allows children to ask questions naturally and as they try a few searches they get the idea of how to refine the questions they should ask. There is a good Study Tools section and a homework message board.

Yahooligans is a yahoo directory for children. From the front page you can choose the Homework Help section, listed under School Bell. This is an American site, but most of the resources and links are relevant to UK homework too.
