Online safety at home - activities for 8-10 year olds
A series of worksheets and activities that relate to videos, produced by Thinkuknow, to encourage awareness about various digital safety issues.

Thinkuknow have produced activities and worksheets, each corresponding to a video focusing on a different issue within online safety. The issues covered within these worksheets and activities include:
