Hi there! I’m seven years old, and I love using my mom’s computer. But before I start, I always ask for permission.
“Mom, can I go on the computer?”
“Sure, sweetie!”
The internet is like a big, exciting neighborhood. You can visit amazing places, chat with family and friends, and learn lots of cool stuff!
Yesterday, I visited a zoo near my house. I saw a cute baby zebra and took her picture. I even changed the color of her stripes and added a funny hat. Now she’s part of my collection of wacky animals. Awesome!
Later, I traveled to a faraway place. I visited a canyon in Africa where lots of zebras live. Wow, that’s a lot of zebras!
On the internet, I can talk to people I know, like my grandma who lives in another state.
“Hi, Grandma!”
She’s making me cookies for my birthday. Yummy! I wish the internet had smell-o-vision!
I also chat with my cousin, but I only talk to people I know. It’s fun to play games, draw, and create new things to share with my friends. Cool!
Sometimes, I visit websites where I learn new things. I always make sure they’re just right for me.
Wow, dinosaurs! The internet is super fun, but just like crossing the street in your neighborhood, you have to be careful when you go online.
Wow, that was fun! It’s dinner time now, so I’m logging off. I can’t wait to explore more next time. Bye-bye!
Create Your Own Online Neighborhood Map: Draw a map of your own online neighborhood! Include your favorite websites, like a zoo or a place to learn about dinosaurs. Use crayons or markers to make it colorful. Share your map with a family member and explain why each place is special to you. Remember to include the three important rules on your map to help you stay safe online!
Role-Play Safe Online Conversations: With a friend or family member, practice having safe conversations online. One person can pretend to be a family member or friend, and the other can practice asking for permission to chat. Use phrases like “Hi, Grandma!” or “Can I talk to my cousin?” This will help you remember to only talk to people you know and trust.
Internet Safety Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your house to find items that remind you of the three important internet safety rules. For example, find a picture of your family to remind you to only talk to people you know, or a stop sign to remind you to ask your parents first. Share your findings with your family and explain how each item helps you remember to stay safe online.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
