Top Search engine For Kids

Yahooligans! #1

http://yahooligans.yahoo.com/

Format is similar to an adult search engine. Just with a click children can read about current events, play a game or watch the latest music video. For research, the directory is broken down into six categories. This search engine is easy to read because of the graphics used to support text.

Format is uncluttered, for example there are basically only three areas to click on: News, games, and study tools and a place to type in a question. The pull down menus in the study tools eliminate misspellings when children are researching topics. Also, the search engine is easy for kids to remember and spell: ajkids.com
