Instructions

Explain to the Cubs about what digital footprints are:
*Digital footprints are a trail of places that you have visited on the
internet and the activities and games you have taken part in.
You leave a tiny digital marker or footprint behind each time you:
-visit a
-website
-click on a link
-tap on a video
-play an online game
These are different from ordinary footprints because they don't automatically disappear.
Even though you can't always see the trail, it could be there for good.*

Draw or write all the websites, games and apps you use on all of your devices. This will make up their digital footprint. Explain how they should always strive to have good footprint. and what they do online stays online even if they may delete something.
How many footprints can each Cub fill.
At the end create a trail to show how their trail could follow you around for years and still be there when you are an adult.

Explain to the Cubs:
*It's important to think about the digital footprints you might be making when you are online and the trail you might be leaving behind you.
Remember to be kind online, keep your personal information private and talk to a trusted adult about your online activities.*
