🕵️‍♂️ Stay Sneaky: Don’t Share Personal Stuff!

The internet’s like a big party where not everyone’s your friend. Sharing your name, address, or school online is like handing out your house keys to strangers—yikes! Keep your personal info locked up tight, like treasure in a pirate chest. If a website asks for details like your birthday or phone number, check with a grown-up first. And those fun quizzes that ask about your pet’s name? They might be sneaky traps to guess your passwords. Stay smart and keep your secrets safe!

• 🏴‍☠️ Never share your address, phone number, or school name.
• 🧑‍🏫 Ask a parent before filling out forms online.
• 🐱 Skip quizzes that want personal details.

🌍 Surf Smart: Stick to Safe Websites!

Not all websites are kid-friendly, just like not all playgrounds are safe to play in. Stick to sites your parents or teachers say are okay, like those with “.edu” or “.org” in the address—they’re usually built for learning and fun. If a site looks sketchy, with weird pop-ups or creepy ads, click away faster than a cheetah running from a lion! Use kid-safe browsers like Kiddle or check if the site has a lock icon next to the URL—that means it’s secure, like a vault for your info.

• 🔍 Use kid-friendly search engines like Kiddle.
• 🔐 Look for the lock icon in the website address.
• 🦒 Ditch sites with too many ads or weird vibes.
