Nat Geo Kids

Nat Geo Kids, the children’s arm of National Geographic, channels the brand’s trademark photography and global storytelling into kid-sized bites. The website is packed with animal profiles, geography features, science facts, quizzes, and games that invite kids to explore the planet from their screens. Articles are short, highly visual, and written at a level accessible to elementary and early middle school readers, making them a great fit for interest-led research or quick reading practice. Parents appreciate that content is generally trustworthy and curiosity-sparking, and that much of it is free, with magazines and books available separately for deeper dives. Because there’s a lot to click, younger kids may need some initial guidance to find specific topics rather than bouncing between games. Use it to kick off unit studies—read about a country or species, then follow up with books and documentaries.
