Great art for kids and teens.

Have you adopted the virtual assistant lifestyle? Do you have multiple Amazon Echo devices at home? Then you’ve probably come across some of the many â€œskillsâ€ that can be added to Alexa to customize her abilities.

A dizzying array of in-house and third-party Alexa skills are offered. Many are ideal for fun (and sometimes learning) for your kids and teens.

Suitable For Kids

The first five Alexa skills listed here are suitable for young children. And also anyone you don’t want to disclose to topics and information that might be more appropriate for older teens. That being said, you should still be in control of your kids’ interactions with any third-party skills!

Animal Workout

There are several stressful things like locking up a group of energetic children at home. Whether it’s a snowy day or government seclusion, it’s good to have a physical outlet for all that stored energy.

Animal Workout does just that. Alexa will encourage your kids to pretend they are different animals, and at the same time, she will stealthily make them move their bodies. After all, if you’re having fun, this doesn’t exercise.

Sesame Street

Does Sesame Street need a presentation? If your kids are already into the evergreen kids’ show, this official app from Sesame Workshop is sure to keep you happy. Skills for kids actually focus on the hyper-popular character Elmo. You can ask him about the word of the day and play hide and seek.

It’s pretty straightforward right now, the developers are working to make it a little more interactive, but for preschoolers, this is the perfect dose of Elmo on demand when they need it.

Amazon Storytime

This official skill from Amazon features over 100 stories that have been recorded using full professional castings. Think of it as a kind of mini Netflix (or Amazon Prime, for example) for audio-only stories.

Amazon has selected content suitable for kids ages 5 to 12, and there are several categories of stories to choose from. There are also branded sidebars with LEGO and Ripley’s Believe It or Not. If you’re not quite ready for a personal storytelling session that night, Alexa is there to help. Of course, there is no reason why you cannot enjoy these fairy tales with your friends.

No Way Thatâ€™s True

Nickelodeon spins the world of Alexa kid’s skills with their fun quiz game. It is based on a collection of global facts that will make you wonder if something could be true.

This game can be played with up to four players and features popular characters that players can encounter during the game, such as SpongeBob SquarePants. The game is suitable for children aged 6 and over.

Meow!

Sometimes, when it comes to very young children, the simpler the better. Meow! it is an Alexa skill that does exactly what is written on the bank. Saying “Alexa meow meow” will trigger a cat conversation that can last for hours. Chatting with Alexa in â€œcat languageâ€ is a pretty simple (albeit cute) trick, but it’s also fun for kids of all ages.

Suitable for Teens

The following five Alexa skills for kids are appropriate for teens and older teens. While they don’t have explicit content and are generally family-friendly, some may contain links to events and topics that might require parental control.

Jeopardy!

While Nickelodeon trivia games can captivate young children, by the time you get older, there is a good chance they will be bitten by Jeopardy! mistake. In case you didn’t know, this is a quiz with a twist. Contestants must answer a cryptic clue in the form of a question.

Unfortunately, you won’t be queuing up to win real money or meet Alex Trebek. Otherwise it looks like a show. Although it seems like the last change to the format of the game on Alexa was slightly less popular with longtime gamers.
