The 'Internet Safety' Magic Program
Teaching Students Dangers to Avoid and Ways to Stay Safe When Using the Internet
The internet is a truly wondrous tool! You can learn just about anything with just the click of a mouse. Unfortunately, since anyone can post virtually anything online, the internet also poses some dangers children need to understand.
This educational program covers several important topics:
- Why the internet is such a wonderful tool
- How some downloads can damage the computer
- When is it safe to chat online?
- How some people online will say outrageous things in order to get your personal information…and how to avoid it
- How things and people are not always what they claim to be online
- Talking with your parents about the internet
This program uses comedy and magic to explain some of the dangers lurking on the internet. The magician will also provide the students, as well as the adults, with several rules for internet safety to help keep web surfing safe and enjoyable.
The use of onstage volunteers and magic illustrates some simple guidelines that all kids and adults should know and agree to in order to stay safe online. And, as a special bonus, the school will receive an "Internet Safety Tip Sheet" that can be photocopied and sent home with each child to reinforce the important messages in this program!
The 'Internet Safety' Magic Program uses age-appropriate humor, tons of audience participation, and plenty of amazing magic to keep the students focused, and at the same time contains a message so the students remember not only the trick, but the message that goes with it!
