Before you begin
This is a great activity to run during an online session. Check out the advice on using Zoom and other popular digital platforms and the guidance on being safe online.
Think about how you'll explain the instructions to everyone on the call – you may want to make an example to show everyone, to make it easier to explain.
Make sure the paper’s thick enough for people to be able to use both sides. Everyone may need to use pencils or crayons (rather than pens) so they don’t bleed through.

Make hands
The person leading the activity should welcome everyone to the call and check that everyone has the equipment they need ready to go.
Try to do each step of the craft so it’s on camera. Give everyone time to copy and catch up before you move on to the next step.
Everyone should put a piece of paper in front of them with the shorter sides at the top and bottom.
They should put one hand (and around eight centimetres of their arm) on the paper and draw around it with a pencil.
Everyone should fill their hand with writing and drawings about things that make them unique. They could include things like their family, friends, pets, hobbies, school, interests, faith, holidays, and whatever else is important to them. If there are any spaces, they should fill them with colour or patterns so the hand’s totally full.
Everyone should cut out their paper hand.
It’s OK if adults need to help.

Hands up
Once everyone's finished decorating their hands, they should take it in turns to lift their hands up to the camera and show them to the group.
One or two people should talk through their hands and what everything means.
The person leading the activity should remind everyone that it’s safe to share all of this information in this situation, because it’s a safe space. Everyone should chat about what makes it a safe space.

Hands down
Everyone should turn their hand over so they’re looking at the blank side.
It’s OK if a few things show through a little.
Everyone should think about what digital actions they take, things like searches, clicks or posts. They should think of what information they might leave behind as a result of the different actions.
Now everyone should think about what they’d be comfortable sharing online with someone they don’t know. They should write or draw what they’d be comfortable sharing in this situation.
For some people this might be nothing, for others it might be their first name (or a username on a game), avatar, or basic information like their age.
Everyone should talk about what they’d be comfortable sharing. The people leading the activity should help everyone decide what’s safe – it might be a bit different depending on everyone’s age and experience.
