7 . Phishy or Friendly? Drawing Game

How to Play:

The Creative Challenge

Children draw two different messages - one suspicious "phishy" message and one safe "friendly" message. They can use speech bubbles, email templates, or text message formats.

Spotting the Differences

Kids present their drawings to the group, who must guess which is phishy and which is friendly. This builds critical thinking skills about suspicious language, offers, and requests.

Real-World Application

This playful activity prepares children to recognize actual suspicious messages they might encounter, teaching them to pause and question before responding to online communication.
