What Is This Message Asking?

A gift-box message pops up while Milo and Ari build a cloud bridge. Help them notice that a school name and street are private details, even when the message looks cheerful.

What we practice

Notice when a game message asks for a school, street, phone number or password.
Separate game talk from private details.
Pause without replying and bring the device to a grown-up.

Sort Pretend Messages

Practice noticing the request without asking the child to reveal or invent real personal information.

Which words changed the message from game talk into a private-detail request? What could the child do without replying?

1. Write six short pretend message cards. 2. Let the child sort game-only talk from requests to bring to an adult. Speech, pointing or placing a card all count. 3. Practice closing the pretend screen and bringing it over. Do not test the child with real names, addresses, passwords or accounts.
