Yes, you can eat radish greens. They are spicy and good in a salad. You can also cook the greens from the kohlrabi, just as you would turnip greens.
You can make a puree with parsnip, kohlrabi, potato and leek or garlic. Delicious. Just skin, steam until tender, blend, add butter and salt. Better than mashed potatoes from my point of view.

I got 2 bunches of radishes this week and haven’t finished the ones from last week. Is there anything I can do with them other than slice them for salad?

Radishes can be sauteed with garlic and a dash of balsamic vinegar, topped with a few pine nuts & some grated romano. You can include the greens when you cook them this way. Epicurious has several recipes for cooked radishes.

Kohlrabi & Apple Salad: peel a kohlrabi bulb and cut it into julienne strips. Cut a small apple (granny smith or crisp red) in julienne strips (don’t peel it). In a bowl, mix 1/2 c nonfat plain yogurt, 1 TBSP coarse grained mustard, 1 or 2 tsp curry powder, and 1/2 cup of mixed walnuts & raisins. Add the julienne strips and stir. Sprinkle with grated nutmeg. Makes 2 medium servings.
