Keep Private Details with a Trusted Adult

Supplied materials

• Paper and pencil; answers may also be spoken or typed.
• All cases, labels, numbers and rules are supplied on this page. No real account, private information or purchase is needed.

Learn the idea

Some information is private because sharing it may affect a person’s safety or privacy. A home address, password or private photo should not be given to an unfamiliar person online. A young learner can stop and ask a trusted adult. All names and requests in this lesson are pretend, and no real details are needed.

For an unfamiliar request for private information, stop and ask a trusted adult rather than sending it. Do not type real private information to complete a practice question.

Use this supplied case: An unfamiliar message asks for a real home address. Choose an action. Use the details in this example. An adult may read the words aloud. Point, draw or say your answer.

1. Follow the worked example one step at a time. Say or draw what happens.
2. For an unfamiliar request for private information, stop and ask a trusted adult rather than sending it.
3. Say which detail makes the example answer fit. Pick another answer and say why it does not fit.
4. Try the question and practice questions. Read the rule again if your answer does not match the explanation.

Take it further

A pretend stranger asks for a child’s school location. Expected: keep it private, stop and ask a trusted adult; no real school name is needed.
