If you promote Kahoot for fun learning and it IS catered to students, then why would you put an age limit to join a group? That defeats the purpose of actually having a "student account".
Do you have any alternatives? Should I tell them to lie about their age, change the account type of stop using kahoot?
Hi @LupeEFL,
Kahoot! is committed to providing a safe and compliant environment for all users, including students. The age limit for joining groups is set due to legal requirements related to data protection and privacy, especially for younger users. Specifically, students under the age of 16 are not allowed to join groups to ensure compliance with these regulations.
Here are some alternatives you can consider:
Use Kahoot! in Classroom Mode: Teachers can create and host kahoots in a classroom setting where students can participate without needing to join a group.
Parental Supervision: For younger students, parents can create an account and supervise their child's participation in kahoots.
School Accounts: Schools can set up accounts that comply with local regulations, allowing students to participate under the school's supervision.
It is important not to encourage students to lie about their age or change their account type, as this would violate Kahoot!'s terms of service and could lead to account suspension.
If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please let us know.
