What can I say about myself?

A sorting game about which information is safe to share online and which is not.

Steps

1. The teacher prepares cards with information: first name, address, favourite colour, password, phone number, school name, photo of your house, favourite game.
2. In pairs, students sort the cards into three piles: I can share it, only with a parent's permission, never.
3. Pairs compare their results and defend their decisions.
4. Together you agree the rules for a strong password and check some examples.
5. Each student makes up a safe nickname for games.

Tip: Point out photos: the background (a street sign, a school uniform) also gives away information.
