Internet Safety

 Interland - by Google

This game lets children play as a little robotic Internaut, learning all about cyberbullying, phishing, data protection, and more. This is taught through a variety of mini-games that are spread out across floating islands. 

 

Band Runner

Internet safety aside, Band Runner is a fun game in its own right. Children choose to play as Ellie or Sam and must time their jumps correctly to help them avoid obstacles. They can also use their guitars to help demolish the blockers---Ellie and Sam are on their way to a gig, after all! If an obstacle isn't cleared, Ellie or Sam will trip and fall. Children must then answer a 50/50 question before they can continue, like whether it's safe to share videos or tell someone your age. 


Online Safety Pirate Game

 Everyone knows how to play Hangman! This version of the classic game aims to teach children about how to talk to others online and what sort of information you shouldn't share online. There are only ten questions, you can complete it fairly quickly. Children play as a refresher to some key tips for internet safety. 

 

Cyber - Five

Cyber-Five is a fun and colorful animation that revolves around Hippo and Hedgehog, two friends who are learning about the golden rules of internet safety.

After watching, then take a quiz --the questions revolve around what one should do in certain situations, like if someone asks for your password or sends a mean message.
