Do you struggle with balancing your kids’ screen time with their education? Say hello to 1Question, the app that solves this problem with a fun twist! Our app lets your child earn screen time minutes in their favourite apps by watching educational videos and correctly answering quiz questions. And the best part? You get to decide which apps to lock behind learning using 1Question.

Learning time

Kids learn by watching short, engaging video lessons.

Electricity is very helpful. It is used to power many household items including light bulbs, video consoles, and fridges. As well as being very helpful, it can also be very dangerous. Here are some tips to remember in order to stay safe. Never put fingers, toys, or other objects into an electrical socket. Do not place electrical devices such as hair dryers near bathtubs or showers. Electricity and water are dangerous partners. When on a computer or video console, never place drinks on your device. They could easily spill, ruin your device and maybe give you a nasty shock. Lastly, stay away from places marked with warning signs. These places are very dangerous even for adults.
