if you're talking about the kids younger than 12-13 years old, this won't be easy. but if you're talking about 14-15 year old kids, they're already very tend to learn someting about digital and technologic things.
I know how to play video games since I was 5 years old and therefore, I do think that it is not hard to teach a young child about bitcoin. Well if they know how to use money and computer, they will know how to use bitcoin in just a few weeks

i think you do not need to teach kids about bitcoins, you just need to introduce them to this global virtual gold. the keen ones will learn about them on their own with time. however there are a lot of ways to introduce bitcoins to kids. you can include them in the kids' school syllabus, create some fun learning apps, include them in kid's magazines, encourage parents to tell their kids about it, spread awareness etc.
LOL though i agree with the ways you mentioned on how to teach kids about btc, the first you said makes a lot more sense. Why would you teach kids about something they don't really need to learn about yet? There are more things kids need to first that are more essential in their young lives that bitcoin.

Or do you really think that what they are being taught in school is "more essential in their young lives"? Obviously, I'm not so much talking about Bitcoin as such here but rather overall financial literacy (of which Bitcoin may well turn to be an essential part). In today's world without being experienced in financial matters is like being computer illiterate yesterday. Does anyone now question the vital necessity of that? It is basically the same here. Tomorrow no one will doubt the necessity of being literate in financial matters for common folks

I thinks should learn about this bitcoin process for sooner or later they will be able to use it for their studies, home work , incase of emergency and the good is that it is paperless. Bitcoin is a innovation that should be adopted as soon as now. If given a chance I would like to teach my co workers about this , right now it is hard for them to know because they will think that this is a scam but once they try it out I think that they will know the importance and also appreciate bitcoin.
if you're talking about the kids younger than 12-13 years old, this won't be easy. but if you're talking about 14-15 year old kids, they're already very tend to learn someting about digital and technologic things.
Yes it should have a range in age. Kids ages 6-12 years old is not the ideal age to teach bitcoin. They should be playing, do physical games and study the lessons. It is not the right time. But as they grow I'm sure they are using and expose in the internet. They will encounter bitcoin and for sure they'll get interested. Let them ask us what is all about. Their initiative will make them hungry for the informations and knowledge. Let them explore. In such ways there's no need to teach them how and what is bitcoin.

I agree. At a young age it will be useless to explain too complicated terms and schemes, they are simply not yet ready to perceive such complex information
It is not just about kids
I'd rather say it is at any age pretty useless to explain too complicated ideas without starting first from simple things and working all the way up. In fact, the question itself is not about explanation per se and making it interesting to follow since these are just technical issues and as such should be dealt with at the "implementation" level, i.e. how good you can explain things as well as make your explanation interesting (or fun, if we talk about kids), which is essentially the same thing. It is more about whether it is worth doing at all. I guess you should first answer the question what are you going to achieve with that, i.e. what is your goal
This is a tough and difficult question
Indeed, physical development should come first, but if we are talking about kids 7-12 year old, intense physical activity is still limited to just a couple of hours a day. Regarding studying and learning in general, this is where things get complicated. As to me, learning about Bitcoin (if done right) can greatly contribute to this process. After all, what we are taught in school is mostly garbage anyway that will be of neither help nor use in our adult lives. So, substituting this garbage with something more useful (not necessarily Bitcoin related, e.g. properly learning the English language if it is not your mother tongue) cannot be considered as wasting time since it aims specifically at reducing this useless waste of time in the first place
Because it is difficult to tell the bitcoin to anyone let alone a child, then the best way is with the game, invite your child to games that give rewards bitcoin and they will collect bitcoin so they will think and learn about bitcoin.
It's a good idea. Since kids loves to play, and they are very active in games then let them play with bitcoin. Surely they will think, collect, and learn bitcoin step by step. As they age they will explore more. They will more interested in bitcoin and there is no need to teach them. They will be the one to ask you if they don't understand a thing.

We can't teach kids about bitcoin but we can teach them how the bitcoin works in just saving money hoarding money and wait till the price will high also we can teach them the different coins by just using flash cards but ofcourse dont take it seriously cause they can't carry it in their young age.
at the young age I doubt that they will properly understand how does bitcoin has a price and how or why its price is getting higher or changing very often and since they are having a hard time to understand these things they'll be surely getting confused with the other coins
and in my opinion we can only tell them how bitcoin works the same as the physical money otherwise wait until they are already at the age where you think they can fully understand it depending on their interest .I agree.

I'm going to make a game for kids about bitcoin so they know, a game that consists of stories that as they progress, they can get to know more about the different bitcoin angles that can be useful for their growing Smileys.
Lol, I doubt that you'd actually make a game. I even doubt that you have the capacity to do so. Just like every other game, people, including kids, would probably just skip the story and go to the main point of it. The main point of your game to you is the story. But that's not the case to the players. To the players, the point of playing your game is for them to earn money. And if you're going to say that your game wouldn't allow the player to make money or anything, then people aren't going to install that game. I wouldn't even call that a "game" but rather some stories or a fact compilation. Everyone would rather read an article instead of going to the PlayStore and download your "game".
