Pause and Think Online

Use Your Head

Imagine your head is like a hat that holds all your smart ideas. When you’re online, use your head to keep your thoughts safe and private. Just like at the zoo, where you greet animals and people, remember to be friendly but careful online. Give yourself some space and think about how to stay safe.

Feel with Your Heart

Your heart is where all your kindness and love come from. Use it to grow and spread happiness. Make a card for someone special to show you care. When you’re online, use your heart to know what’s right and treat everyone with respect and kindness.

Balance with Your Arms

Your arms are great for hugging pets and staying dry when it rains. Wear your favorite clothes and let your imagination fly high! When you’re online, remember to take breaks and do other fun things too, like climbing a tree or playing outside.

Listen to Your Gut

Your gut helps you understand your feelings and needs. It’s like a little voice that tells you when something doesn’t feel right. Pay attention to it, especially when you’re online, to stay safe and happy.

Move with Your Legs

Your legs are perfect for running, jumping, and dancing. Use them to stand up to bullies and be kind to everyone, including animals. Remember, being kind is always the best choice.

Think Before You Act

From your head to your toes, take a moment to think before you do anything online. This way, you can make sure you’re being safe, kind, and smart every time you use the internet.

  • Can you think of a time when you used your head to make a smart decision online? What did you do to keep your thoughts safe?
  • How can you use your heart to spread kindness and happiness to others when you’re on the internet? Can you share a story about a time you did something kind online?
  • What are some fun activities you like to do when you’re not online? How do you balance your time between being online and doing other things you enjoy?
  1. Smart Idea Hat Craft: Create a “Smart Idea Hat” using paper and art supplies. Decorate it with drawings or words that represent smart and safe online behaviors. Wear your hat and share one smart idea with your family about how to stay safe online. This will help you remember to use your head when you’re on the internet.
  2. Kindness Card Exchange: Make a card for a classmate or family member to show kindness, just like using your heart online. Write a nice message or draw a picture that makes them smile. Exchange cards and talk about how it feels to give and receive kindness. Discuss how you can show kindness online, too.
  3. Balance and Break Activity: Set a timer for 20 minutes of screen time. When the timer goes off, take a break and do a fun physical activity like jumping jacks, dancing, or playing a quick game outside. This will help you remember to balance your online time with other activities, using your arms and legs to stay active and healthy.

Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript, removing any repetitive phrases and ensuring clarity:
