The character you teach, practiced every day at home.
You get a few hours a month with each family; screens fill their evenings. KudoKids is safe screen time for kids 3–12 that instills growth — kids earn coins through everyday routines, practicing kindness, responsibility, and patience — and it's genuinely free for every family, with nothing for your ministry to buy, administer, or disclose.
Tasks, Coins, Games — That's the Loop
Parents set routines and tasks
Chores, reading goals, wellness habits — configured once.
Kids earn Kudo Coins
Completed tasks earn coins. Educational games earn them back.
Screen time self-regulates
Fun games cost coins. No timers, no fights — kids budget themselves.
Free plan available for families — tasks, games, wellness tools, and the parent dashboard cost nothing.
What You're Recommending
You spend a few hours a month teaching kindness, responsibility, and patience — then families go home to evenings full of screens that reinforce none of it. KudoKids is a daily home tool that practices the same character language, and the free plan is the whole product, so sharing it is information, not an upsell.
It lives in the hours at home — practicing what you teach
The gap you can't reach is the everyday time at home. KudoKids fills it as daily practice: parents set the routines and tasks that matter this week, kids earn Kudo Coins by finishing them, and parents decide what the coins buy — including off-app screen time parents configure. The growth areas are the character language every tradition already teaches — kindness, responsibility, patience — with zero doctrinal content. It layers under your teaching; it never competes with it or replaces it.
The free plan is the whole product — nothing to administer, nothing to defend later
Free Explorer includes the routines and tasks, the full library of games, the wellness tools, the parent dashboard, and a first companion, Cosmo (the astronaut kid). Premium ($11.99/mo or $99/yr) only unlocks the other themed worlds, companions, backgrounds, and companion looks and extras; it never puts a wall in front of the learning and it is never purchase pressure on a child. Families sign up directly at kudokids.org — no site license, no procurement, no ministry account, and no child data ever reaches the congregation. It survives volunteer turnover because there's nothing to hand off.

Common Questions
No — KudoKids is faith-neutral by design. The character areas are ones every tradition teaches — kindness, responsibility, patience — with zero doctrinal content and nothing that contradicts what you teach. Faith communities are one audience among several who recommend it, alongside therapists, educators, and families. You supply the meaning; KudoKids just practices the habit at home.
Fair — and it's checkable in about ten minutes on the free plan. The growth areas are kindness, responsibility, and patience, with no doctrinal content. Honest framing: KudoKids is not a ministry product, so recommending it is information, like a community-resource flyer — not an endorsement, and not something that carries your congregation's authority.
You don't have to. Share it as information, the way you'd share any community resource. Community partners have no financial relationship with KudoKids — no affiliate link, no commission — so your ministry earns nothing and owes nothing. That's exactly what keeps the optics clean.
Premium exists ($11.99/mo or $99/yr) and we say so up front. The free plan isn't a teaser: it's the whole app — routines and tasks, the full library of games, the wellness tools, the parent dashboard, and a first companion — minus only the other themed worlds, companions, backgrounds, and companion looks and extras. The upgrade decision sits with parents, never inside a child's game.
That story was surveillance of congregants. KudoKids is the opposite: the parent dashboard gives parents visibility into their own child's progress, there is no ministry console, no child data ever reaches the congregation, and there's no commission arrangement for anyone to find.
Families already have screens — the question is what the time does. KudoKids makes it earned (coins come from real-life routines and tasks) and growth-oriented, and coins can buy off-app device time parents configure — so it often shifts time off the screen, not onto it.
