I'm sure that in some cases children could teach their parents about Bitcoin. Sometimes kids now more then we know or want to beleive they are involved in. I know some cases where kids were earning bitcoins even with some illegal activities and parents thought they use computer only for playing games and Facebook.
It is not so easy to teach kids about bitcoin formally.
I mean in schools it would be really difficult because
Most of the governments even now oppose the use of bitcoins,
In place of their national Fiat currency.
So they won't allow the school to have bitcoins as a part of their economics course.
But yes we can definitely promote the use of bitcoins informally to set an example in front of them.

it will need patience until our kids understand of what we explained but if in their school, there are any lesson about bitcoin, then i am sure they will fast understand and they can discuss with us and who knows our kids will using bitcoin too like us. the other way, if we want to teach our kids about bitcoin, then we need to spend much time to explain to them until they can understand the point first.
I believe there is a way to teach kids about bitcoin.
I taught my kid this same way. Tried it today
First I cut a lot of papers and started playing money game with him. There was a rule that only I can make the money.
Then I asked him Do you why I am the only one who can make money?. Guess what? He said "It's because you have a powerful computer to mine with"
I asked him "Do you also like to do the same?" the reply was "yes"
He is still beside me watching me write this post. for the last three hours he is sitting beside me and learning and watching my screen.
When I asked him to go and play he said "No! I want to learn how to mine gold(that is what he calls it) and get rich"
The technique is to plant the intrest in them.

Well I believe you thinking to put your kids to work already so that when they grow big they will have decent amount of money backup with them. Well it's amazing idea and I love it. May be initially we can tell them bitcoin is going to be new currency of world, not a lie but may be a hope? Kids are smart now a days and they would love to play with bitcoins very easily. We can put them into a program where they earn bitcoins for learning new things? May be a science fair for instance. 
Bitcoin is digital and many kids love internet world a lot. There are trillions of services online the only thing is they should pay for kids in bitcoins for using them. May be these things should be implemented by schools. Haha I know I am going far fetched but I can't imagine kids earning at so young age. :-)

It is literally, hard to teach children, espscially for something they dont really know, they are kids, they do not care about money and stuffs, they just want to play and enjoy their lives, they are just kids. We don't need to relate government about these, we don't need to relate the fiat currencies about these, and what school will teach a KID about economy, you will be just wasting your time. It can be used as an example to them, but eventually, they do not care.

i think the best way to make them understand about bitcoins is by saying that bitcoin is another type of currency and it is not fiat like usd or any other curreny .it exits and it cant be felt and it is the future and it has a lot of potential.
I think that is not a good idea to explain to them that bitcoin is a type of currency, why? Because kids today are intelligent and they can think of something new and out of their curiosity they can use it for gambling unless we are not going to open them the negative things that we can do it, other wise it is a good idea.

I agree with you. Children about bitkoin need to be told in general terms. No need for details. Just say that there is such an alternative to fiat currency
I agree with you. If we are teaching our children about bitcoins we should teach them by showing to do the basics such as making web wallets and how to do a transaction. Teaching them the technicalities will bore the children and too much explanation will make them sleep. And so teach them how to collect from faucets so they will enjoy doing bitcoins and their interest will be triggered.
I don't think children will be intrested in learning. I see that children are already in the kind of play-time and don't even want to do homework.

Children will not understand that what the the feeling of currency and then they will think that why it is impossible for bitcoin to unable to touch so it do not need to go to that much deep you can tell them simply that bitcoin is a digital currency and it is used for internet transactions. You can tell them that fiat is for offline stores and bitcoin is for online stores.
Nowadays everybody needs money. Children are not an exception. I think economic games with an income in bitcoins is quite suitable for this. To teach a child the game no problem, but as soon as he will buy something for bitcoins lots of lunch they will know everything.
I think someone could create a game about it , a game composed of story telling which as they progress they get to know more about different angles of bitcoin world which could be useful when they grew up
If it happens then I will surely play that game

How to teach kids about Bitcoin?
The 1st thing why do we need to teach them about bitcoin?
It's their age to study and play.
By looking at it I think OP is a Kid
just kidding.
If you really want to tell a kid about bitcoin then just show him an example of bank transaction and bitcoin transaction so that they will know we can send money without being noticed like thieves

Kids (I hope you are talking about teenagers), could be taught about bitcoins by saying that it is a form of currency. Try to understand and then provide a summary of how the blockchain works and how transactions are included in blocks, and teach them what is mining. These should be enough technical knowledge for them. If, then, they seem interested, you could proceed to telling them about how to earn small bits of bitcoins, provided they are old enough.
Also, dont forget to make them aware about Ponzi/cloud mining schemes and never invest in any site that seems too good to be true.

I dont really think that bitcoin is easy to explain on kids because there is so many complicated things in bitcoin though and it is not that simple as fiat currency. I think it is higher chance to be scam rather than in fiat, more over if this is done by kids, there will be a lot of scamming things occur
and i think there is no need to explain bitcoin to kids as kids have to complete their education first and after that when they complete their education can think about starting bitcoin, but the most important thing it to compete their study first.

This topic isn't that easy to elaborate with the exact result on how to teach a kid about bitcoin because you might keep reapeating the same explaination and instruction just for a young mind to be able to cope with the matter. hence, the easiest way for a kid or young mind to learn and to understand bitcoin is by advising the kids to view and watch tutorial on YouTube because kids have the privelege to watch the tutorial as often as they want and they can repeat it in several times.
