Using Khan Kids with Clever

Clever is a free digital learning platform that many schools use for rostering, messaging, and student information. If you use Clever at your school, you can use your account information to sign into Khan Kids.

• For notes on using Clever sign-in on a Chromebook, click here.

Your Clever roster will automatically sync with Khan Kids, and your students will be able to use their Clever Badge to sign in to the app. Additionally, student progress will stay with students, even if they switch classes or move to the next grade level. As long as students stay within the same school district, their progress in Khan Kids will travel with them.

In order to use Khan Kids with Clever, teachers and students must have the free Khan Academy Kids app installed directly on a mobile device. Khan Kids can be downloaded from the Apple, Google Play, or Amazon app store on smartphones, tablets, and Chromebooks.

Create your Khan Kids account

Note: It is best to do this on a mobile device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or Chromebook. If you are using a desktop computer, click here.

1. Download the free Khan Academy Kids app on a school-provided device or a personal smartphone/tablet from the Apple, Google Play, or Amazon app store. Do not open the app after downloading.
2. On that same device, open a web browser, like Safari or Google Chrome.
3. Go to www.clever.com, select "Log in as a teacher," and enter your Clever account credentials.
4. Tap the Khan Kids icon from the Clever Portal. You may need to add it from the Clever Library if you haven't already.
5. This will trigger the Khan Academy Kids app to open and you will be signed in automatically.
6. The app will walk you through a short process of onboarding your class. If you have the same students rostered in multiple classes, please only select one (e.g., Homeroom). Otherwise, students will have to choose which class to enter each time they sign in.

If you would like to be able to sign in directly inside the Khan Kids app with a username and password, please click here to see how to set that up.

One last note: Make sure you make Khan Kids visible to students so they can see the app on your Teacher Page!

Go to to Apps > Manage your apps > Khan Kids, and look for an option that says "Open in browser" or "Open in app." The correct selection is "Open in app." Unfortunately, this setting is not available in the Google Admin Console to push out globally.
