The rules

🦊 No previous knowledge needed! Your teacher is super well-prepared already.

⚡️ Pen and paper! That’s it! Ask each group of students to use pen and paper to write their conversations.

⏱ About 30 minutes is all the time you will need for your class to complete this game.

📺 The best is to share your screen on the smartboard in your class, but you can also work with a computer screen.

The Printables

We will use three paper templates in the class:

Template #1: The 'Paper Computers'
Template #2: The Server Tags
Template #3: The Secret Code cheatsheets

You can print them from here:
 

PRINT #1 PRINT #2 PRINT #3

Kids get confronted with the internet every day. But do they know what the internet is? Or how to use it?

We have created a fun and interactive game that not only explains what the internet is but also shows its potential dangers and how to avoid them.
