Interactive online safety activities
Put your digital skills into practice with interactive learning scenarios designed for primary school students. Step through realistic situations, make thoughtful choices, and discover how to navigate the online world with confidence, kindness, and smart safety habits.
Scenario 1: Password power and protecting personal details
In this activity, students explore what makes a password truly unbreakable and identify which pieces of personal information should stay private. Rather than answering basic yes or no questions, learners review fictional user profiles and select secure alternatives to safeguard full names, school locations, and contact details from public view.
Scenario 2: Group chats, stranger danger, and online friends
Gaming lobbies and shared group chats are fantastic places to play, but unfamiliar players require cautious boundaries. This scenario guides children through simulated message threads where an unknown user asks to meet or request photos, encouraging students to analyse warning signs and choose the safest response before looping in an adult.
Scenario 3: Standing up to cyberbullying with kindness
Words have real power online. Here, students step into the role of a supportive digital upstander when unkind comments appear in a shared classroom thread. Learners weigh different actions—such as capturing evidence, muting negative voices, and supporting peers—while parents and teachers use prompt questions to facilitate meaningful discussion.
