7 Ways To Entertain Young Kids Using Alexa
Alexa is a great way to get kids on their feet, moving and enjoying themselves. Here are 7 ways you can entertain them at home with your trusted AI (if you know, you know).
Some of the features in this list need to be enabled – you can do this using voice activation on Alexa (Alexa, enable [skill name]) or by logging in to your Amazon Prime account where you can search for the activity in Alexa Skills and click enable.
Gruffalo Move (“Alexa, open Gruffalo Move”) – an interactive voice game that takes children on a journey to meet the characters from the Gruffalo story, completing activities and exploring sounds on the way to unlocking calming sleep melodies.
Animal Workout (“Alexa, open Animal workout”) – your kids will imagine themselves as different animals while Alexa boosts motivation and confidence by offering words of encouragement throughout.
Sesame Street (“Alexa, Open Sesame Street”) – Children can talk with Elmo, he’ll tell them about his letter of the day, help them learn new words, and even play a game of hide and seek (“Alexa, ask Sesame Street to play Hide & Seek”).
Musical Bumps (“Alexa, play musical bumps”) – the classic party game that’s just as fun in your kitchen or living room.
Musical Statues (“Alexa, play musical statues”) – continue the classic theme with musical statues, getting your kids on their feet and practicing their listening and concentration skills.
Jokes (“Alexa, tell me a joke, Alexa, tell me a knock-knock joke”) – guaranteed to make kids and grown-ups laugh and smile.
The I love you song (“Alexa, I love you”). Tell Alexa you love her and enjoy her response. Be prepared to listen to it a few times!
