About 15 min

What you’ll need

  • Paper and pen (optional)

How to do it

  1. Read the scenario without searching for one perfect answer.
  2. Generate three possible responses.
  3. Consider who might be affected and choose a next step.

The challenge

A friend shares an embarrassing photo of another student in a group chat. What are three things you could do?

Feedback

Useful options protect dignity and safety: do not forward it, check on the person, ask for removal, or involve a trusted adult when needed.

Which option feels safest and kindest, and what might make it difficult?

Feedback

A good decision considers both values and real social pressure.

What this practices

This activity practices empathy, online judgement and considering consequences.

For the adult

This is practice, not an assessment. Listen for the child’s reasoning and discuss safety without shaming.
