Instructions

Recap from last time.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

SAY: We learned in the last lesson what information is – can anyone remember?
Information is a set of facts that are true.

ASK: Can anyone tell me what personal information is?

SAY: Personal information is information about a person like their name, address, birthday, or phone number.
Every Ladybird in this group has a particular set of personal information that is unique to you, and your personal information can be used to identify you.

ASK: Can you think of types of personal information where if you shared it online, someone might identify you?

SAY: Your name, address, parents’/guardians’ names, what school you go to, brother and sisters’ names.

ACTION: Take part in activity 5.

The point of this activity is to have the ladybirds create a short profile on themselves by filling in some personal information but not including their name. In Activity 6, these sheets will be used to get the ladybirds to guess which profile belongs to each ladybird. Through the activity, they will learn that even if you don’t give out your name, people can still guess that it is you online as you shared a lot of personal information.

STRANGER DANGER

During this piece of the badge, we encourage to keep the conversation light by initiating a non-threatening, age-appropriate discussion of some basic safety principles of strangers. We will develop this topic further in later badges, but for now, it is important that the ladybirds understand the concept of a stranger and how this might apply online.

ASK: Can anyone tell me what a stranger is?

SAY: Strangers aren’t always bad, and it’s hard to tell if someone is a good stranger or a bad stranger just by looking at them. We need to be very careful around people we don’t know as they might not be nice people.

ASK: Looking at the pictures (See image 1 in the attachments) here can you tell me which one is the stranger?

SAY: We have a picture of a mother, a teacher, a person we don’t know offering a child some sweets and a father.
The person we don’t know is the third picture. We can see that the stranger is offering a little girl some sweets. We should never share out personal information or accept anything from a stranger. If you are ever approached by a stranger, you should tell someone that we know a trust like or parents/guardians or our teacher.

Let’s play a game!

Now that the concept of a stranger has been explained to the Ladybirds, invite them to play a game so they can put what they have learned to the test.
Invite the ladybirds to stand in the middle of the room.
At one end of the room place the sign “Stranger – Caution,” and at the other end of the room place the sign “Person I Know.”
Read the list of examples from Attachment 6 and ask the Ladybirds to run to the sign that they think is the correct answer.
Ask them to explain their reason for the answer.

STAY SAFE ONLINE

ASK: Can anyone tell me why we should be careful about sharing our personal information?

SAY: Because we can’t see people online, we don’t know who they are. They might be strangers – these are people we don’t know. We need to be careful about sharing personal information as this information can identify who we are, where we go to school and where we live.

ASK: Can anyone tell me what we should do if a stranger contact us online?

SAY: We should tell our parents or carer right away. It’s very important that you don’t keep it a secret. Your parents/carer will also help to keep you safe.

SAY: When we are talking to people online or when we might be playing an online game with our friends, there is information that we should not share.

DO: Read through the examples above (SEE TABLE IN THE ATTACHMENT).

SAY: Instead of sharing our name online when we are playing games, you can make up a fun username like “DisneyPrincess.” Always check the usernames with your parents/guardians to ensure they are ok.

Activity: Guess the Ladybird

Collect the activity Sheet 5 completed by the Ladybirds. In Activity Sheet 5, the Ladybird built a profile using their personal information and added their name to the sheet.
The Leader shows each profile from Activity sheet 5 to the Ladybirds and asks them to guess who owns the profile.
In this activity, the Ladybirds learn that giving out too much personal information allows you to be identified even if you don’t use your name.
