Hi there! Today, we’re going to learn about something called digital citizenship. It’s a big word, but don’t worry, we’ll make it fun and easy to understand!
Digital citizenship is all about how we use computers, tablets, and phones in a smart and kind way. Just like we have rules at school and home, there are rules for using the internet too!
When we play games or watch videos online, we need to be safe. This means not talking to strangers and always asking a grown-up if something seems strange or scary.
Just like we are nice to our friends at school, we should be nice to people online too. This means saying kind words and not hurting anyone’s feelings.
It’s fun to share pictures and stories, but we need to be careful. We should only share things with people we know and trust, like family and friends.
Being a good digital citizen helps us have fun and learn new things online safely. It also helps us make new friends and keep our information private.
The internet is a great place to learn new things, like how to draw or play a new game. By being a good digital citizen, we can enjoy all these fun activities!
We all have special information, like our names and where we live. It’s important to keep this information safe and only share it with people we trust.
Now that we know what digital citizenship is, let’s practice being safe, kind, and careful online. Remember, the internet is a fun place to explore, and by following these rules, we can have a great time!
Thanks for learning with me today. Let’s go have some fun online, the smart and safe way!
Online Safety Scavenger Hunt: With the help of a grown-up, go on a scavenger hunt around your home to find things that help keep you safe online. This could be a computer, a tablet, or a phone. Talk about how each device can be used safely. Discuss what you should do if you see something online that makes you feel uncomfortable.
Kindness Jar: Create a “Kindness Jar” at home. Every time you say something kind to someone online or in person, write it down on a piece of paper and put it in the jar. At the end of the week, read all the kind things you did and think about how it made others feel. This will help you remember to be kind online and offline!
Sharing Safely Storytime: Draw a picture of something you like to do online, like playing a game or watching a video. Share your drawing with a family member and tell them why you like it. Talk about who you would share this drawing with if it were online and why it’s important to only share with people you trust.
