How it works

The magic word is learn.

Open Sesame! Kids Education is built on positive reinforcement. Schoolwork comes first, and finishing it is what opens the fun. No nagging needed.

  1. 1

    Learn

    Short lessons in 21 subjects, from counting and reading to geography and music. Made by you, by their teachers, or picked from a community of educators.

  2. 2

    Earn

    Every finished lesson pays out a gem for the treasure room and a charge of energy for later.

  3. 3

    Play

    Energy opens the games and videos you have approved. When it runs out, it is back to school. The energy bar says stop, so you don't have to.

And round again: a little learning, a little fun, every day.

Try it right here

Try a lesson. Win the treasure.

Six exercise types from the app, one after another. Hand the screen to your child or have a go yourself. Every right answer earns a gem and some energy.

Multiple choice

How many strawberries are in the basket?

This lesson needs JavaScript to play.

The cheers come in a different one of the app's 100 languages each time. Sound on: some exercises talk.

Then the fun opens

Energy in. Games out.

Games and videos cost energy, and only lessons make more. Kids learn that the fun is earned, and the energy bar is the one that says when to stop.

  • Only the games you have approved
  • Videos from the channels you choose
  • Energy runs down while they play

Take the lesson

A tiny game made for this page. In the app, kids play the games you've approved, and energy works the same way.

The treasure room

Every subject has its own gem.

Twenty-one subjects, twenty-one precious stones. Kids fill their treasure room one finished lesson at a time. The gems you won above are already glowing.

For parents

You hold the keys.

You decide which lessons, games and video channels each child gets. A PIN keeps student mode closed, so only a grown-up can step out of it. Flip the switches and watch the phone change.

    • One app, several children. Each student profile has its own subjects, games and channels.
    • PIN-locked student mode. Hand over the phone; getting out takes the grown-up PIN.
    • See how it went. Follow progress lesson by lesson and spot what needs another go.

    Family and teachers

    A whole team behind one child.

    A student can have many remote teachers: parents, grandparents, a tutor, their class teacher. Each one sends lessons and cheers from their own phone, and the whole family can see how things are going.
