Instructions
Chat about gaming
Everyone should talk about gaming. Does anyone play online games? What are they called?
It doesn’t matter if some people don’t play any online games. They’ll still be able to join in and have fun.
Everyone should talk through the gaming words below (in the ‘Words and actions’ attachment). The person leading the game should make sure everyone understands them.
The person leading the game should remind everyone that sometimes people can be mean online. Ask everyone to discuss some ways that people can respond positively when someone is being unkind and choose your top three ideas.
The person leading the activity should show everyone the Yellow Card. They should explain that it’s Scouts’ code of practice to keep everyone safe and go through what it says.
Leave time for people to chat about the Yellow Card and ask any questions they might have.
Remind the group that if anyone experiences anyone being mean, they should block them and tell an adult they trust.
Play the game
The person leading the game should explain the actions for the first few instructions. ‘Upload’, ‘download’, ‘multiplayer’, and ‘player v player’ are usually enough to start with.
The person leading the game should call out one of the instructions, and everyone should do the action.
After a few practice rounds, the person leading the game could decide people are ‘out’ for doing the wrong action or being too slow. The people who are ‘out’ could keep playing for fun at one side, or they could help the person leading the game judge.
The person leading the game should start adding in more instructions and actions, including the ‘block and report’ actions. Everyone should pause and listen to each new instruction, then carry on playing.
The Childnet website has loads of information on reporting people on different platforms.
