Suggested order: Start with activity 1 (True things and story things) to build shared vocabulary. Activities 2 and 3 (Secret stuff + Who is my safe grown-up?) work best as a pair — do them in the same session if you can.

8 activities · full 4–6 cohort complete

Critical Thinking ⏱ 10 min 📵 No screens

True things and story things

Help your child sort TRUE THINGS from STORY THINGS — and celebrate the bravest answer of all: "I'm not sure." Builds vocabulary for spotting misinformation before it matters.

Tech Safety ⏱ 10 min 📵 No screens

Secret stuff and share stuff

Teach your child the difference between SECRET STUFF (keep it in the family) and SHARE STUFF (safe to tell people). Builds the foundation for online privacy before your child ever has an account.

Emotional Safety ⏱ 10 min 📵 No screens

Who is my safe grown-up?

Help your child name their trusted adults and practise the most important safety phrase they'll ever learn: "I need to talk to a safe grown-up." Do this one right after Secret stuff and share stuff.

Tech Safety ⏱ 4 × 10 min 📱 Device optional

My device has eyes, ears, and a memory

Four short micro-sessions — one a day or one a week — to teach your child that their device can see, hear, and remember. The one habit: pause before tapping anything that asks for permission.

Creative Making ⏱ 10 min 📵 No screens

Making something together

Share ideas, build on what someone else started, and say who helped. The foundation for ethical creative collaboration — online and off.

Emotional Safety ⏱ 10 min 📵 No screens

Big feelings are real

Screens are exciting — that's exactly why big feelings happen. This activity gives children a word for the feeling and a next step that's theirs to choose.

Creative Making ⏱ 10 min 📵 No screens to start

Making my own thing first

Make something — draw it, build it, sing it — before watching anything. A simple weekly ritual that keeps your child's ideas ahead of the content they consume.

Learning ⏱ 2 × 10 min 📵 No screens

Real, pretend, and maybe-made-up pictures

Two sessions — do them a day apart. Session 1: real vs. pretend. Session 2: add the tricky third category — pictures that look real but a computer made them. All three example pictures are embedded; no internet needed.
