Prezi is only for adults. The terms of use clearly state it is for users 18 and up. So you can create prezis but your kids cannot.
The following is taken directly from Prezi's terms of use. They will not collect identification from any user under the age of 13. Please utilize the service accordingly.

Do your students have their own apple IDs?
My students do not have their own apple IDs. By allowing them to add their own, you are no longer able to configure the apple devices because you would not have access to their accounts. The way I am setting up our school devices are to create different apple ID's for different purposes. For example, I will have all the teacher iPads on one account, 3-5 iPods on another, K-2 on another, our STEM iPad minis are on another with the student iPads. In the past, we had an issue of students putting their own apple IDs on the devices, which allowed them to avoid many of the management options we had.
I might have missed it but I'm guessing your school is either 1:1 or BYOD. Is that true?
In my previous school, we were 1:1 iPads, but in my current school we are 1:1 iPods, each teacher has an iPad and we have 3 small student sets that can be checked out for student use. Our county is currently looking into piloting and launching BYOD, but with that comes totally different challenges in classroom and device management. If you do not have 1:1 or BYOD, I highly recommend to my teachers the use of centers and rotations. Students do a lot of planning prior to creating/publishing on the iPads and that planning is done usually in their STEM notebooks.
