Welcome students to Digital Detectives Session 1. Introduce the idea of being a detective online—looking carefully at what we see and asking questions when something doesn’t feel right.

Ask: “What makes someone a good detective?” and “How can we use those skills online?” Chart their ideas (paying attention, asking questions, telling someone).

Show an image of two friends chatting about a new game. Ask students to vote “Safe” or “Unsafe.” Guide discussion: it’s safe because you know the friend and it’s about a game recommendation.

Show an image of a stranger sending a friend request. Ask students to vote. Emphasize: we only accept requests from people we know in real life.

Show an image of an unwanted photo from an unknown person. Ask students to vote. Highlight: receiving images from strangers is unsafe and a trusted adult should be told.

Show an image of someone asking to keep a message secret. Ask students to vote. Discuss why secret requests from strangers or even friends can be unsafe.

Summarize key signs: • Safe: known people, harmless topics, clear purpose • Unsafe: strangers, private images, secret requests Use this slide to reinforce the difference before distributing the worksheet.

Ask each student to name one trusted adult they will speak to if they see something online that feels wrong. Invite a thumbs-up to show they feel ready to speak up.

Welcome students to Session 2 and introduce the focus on reporting unsafe online situations. Reinforce that today they will learn how to clearly tell a trusted adult when something doesn’t feel right online.

Quickly review what makes an online situation safe or unsafe. Prompt students to shout out examples from the last session.

Explain why reporting is important—not just for personal safety but to help friends who might be in danger.

Introduce a simple, memorable process for reporting.

Model two short examples of what students can say. Encourage them to use these templates in their role-plays.

Explain the role-play activity: students will practice reporting using cards. Remind them to use the 3 steps and sample scripts.

Encourage students before moving on to the worksheet.
