Teach the lesson

1. 3 min · Connect

   Read: A player asks Pat where school is. Should Pat type it?

2. 4 min · Model and say

   Say: Where we go and when we go can tell someone how to find us. Model pausing instead of answering.

3. 8 min · Practice together

   Give fictional category cards orally: school name, pickup time, home location, favorite imaginary animal. Sort private location/routine details without collecting real routines. Read the worksheet aloud and let children respond by pointing, speaking, circling, or drawing. Use optional coloring only if time allows.

4. 3 min · Discuss

   Invite two different responses. Ask: What would you do? Why could that help? Use the answer guide on the next page.

5. 2 min · Check understanding

   Ask: Is a school name something to share freely in a game? Listen for protect it and ask.

Answers & follow-through

Worksheet guidance

1. Circle details about where or when someone goes.

   All three are location or routine information.

2. Someone asks where you are. Circle a safe action.

   Ask a trusted adult; do not send location to an unfamiliar contact.

3. Draw Pat asking for help instead of replying.

   Look for stopping the reply and seeking help.

Check, then respond

Ask: Is a school name something to share freely in a game? Listen for protect it and ask.

Mark your observation: □ Independent   □ With a prompt   □ Needs practice. If a child needs practice, demonstrate the same action again and offer a new example in the next class. This is a teaching check, not a safety certification.

Make it work for your learners

Support: Read aloud, point to two choices, model one response, and accept a gesture, spoken answer, drawing, or partner scribe. Do not require independent reading.

Extend: Ask the child to invent one new pretend situation for today’s goal and explain a safe response to a partner.

Family conversation

Talk about why a school name or daily schedule can be private too.

No personal information or signed homework needs to be returned.

Teacher care note

Use fictional situations. Do not collect passwords, addresses, or private experiences. Offer an alternative to role-play. If a child shares a concern, listen calmly, avoid public questioning, and follow school procedures.
