Emphasizing the importance of trusting their instincts, the lesson encourages kids to make smart online choices while exploring.
  1. What does the green light mean when we use the internet?
  2. Why should we be careful when we see a yellow light?

Internet Traffic Light

Hey there! Let’s learn about the Internet Traffic Light. It’s a fun way to remember how to stay safe when we use the internet. Just like when we cross the street, we have to be careful online too!

Green Means Go!

When you see green, it means you can go to websites that you know and trust. These are safe places where you can learn and have fun. Always make sure an adult knows where you’re going online!

Yellow Means Slow!

Yellow is a warning to slow down and be careful. If you’re not sure about a website, take a moment to think. Is it a safe place? Ask an adult if you’re not sure. Being safe is super important!

Red Means Stop!

Red means stop! If you see something that makes you feel unsure or uncomfortable, stop right away. Ask an adult if it’s okay to be on that site. It’s always better to be safe and ask for help.

Trust Your Instincts

Remember, trust your instincts! If something doesn’t feel right, it’s okay to stop and ask for help. The Internet Traffic Light helps us make smart choices online. Have fun exploring safely!

  • Can you think of a time when you used the Internet Traffic Light rules while using the internet? What did you do, and how did it help you stay safe?
  • Why do you think it’s important to ask an adult before visiting a new website? Can you share a story about a time you asked for help online?
  • Imagine you found a new game online. How would you decide if it’s a green, yellow, or red light website? What questions would you ask yourself or an adult?
  • Traffic Light Craft: Create your own Internet Traffic Light using colored paper and craft supplies. Cut out circles in green, yellow, and red. Discuss with an adult what each color means for internet safety as you glue them onto a piece of cardboard or paper. Display your traffic light at home to remind you of safe internet practices.
  • Safe Website Scavenger Hunt: With the help of an adult, make a list of websites that are safe and fun to visit. Use the list to go on a scavenger hunt online. As you explore, identify which websites are “green” and why they are considered safe. Share your findings with your family or classmates.
  • Role-Playing Game: Play a game where you pretend to be on the internet. Use colored cards (green, yellow, red) to decide what to do when you “visit” different websites. For example, if someone shows a “yellow” card, discuss why you should slow down and think. This activity helps you practice making safe choices online.
