“Privacy Hour for Children” is an opportunity for schools to dedicate 1-hour to focus on the importance of protecting children's information privacy on- and offline. It is designed with fun, age-appropriate activities to inspire safe and smart behaviors when engaging online with friends, strangers and how young people build digital identity and confidence.

​

Click on the age/year group to uncover a pack of privacy-related materials. The goal is to spend the full hour (10-11 am) focused on data privacy and online safety, so the materials provide useful resources. Teachers do not have to use all items and can decide the hour based on the characteristics and behaviors of the young people, i.e., a teacher may decide that reading the privacy book and coloring is enough for the privacy hour and reserve another activity in the pack for a later time (or next year).

Note that many of these resources are easily accessible online at Childnet.com.
