The Safer Internet Day 2022 educational resources for ages 3-7 are designed to be adaptable and accessible to support all learners in this age group in exploring this year’s theme, ‘All fun and games? Exploring respect and relationships online’.

Assembly Slides

To support your assembly to 3-7 year olds, there is a 12-slide PowerPoint supported with questions, prompts, pictures and animated icons to maximise engagement from your learners.

Assembly Script

This will complement the assembly slides for young people aged 3-7. On Slides 7-10, a range of optional questions are provided. You may choose the questions that you are going to ask in advance and hide or delete the rest.

To support schools in fitting Safer Internet Day activities into their online safety curriculum, we have provided learning outcomes where relevant.

These have been taken from the free, non-statutory Education for a Connected World framework and can also be mapped against curricula or programmes of study that reflect your context.
