Interactive activities make teaching online safety fun!
Kids love comics and online games, so we’re certain your child will have fun learning about online safety with Zoe and Molly Online!
The Zoe and Molly Online Grade 4 comic book is based on a true case submitted to Cybertip.ca - Canada’s national tipline to report the online sexual exploitation of children. It tells the story of a young girl who is being manipulated by an individual she meets online while playing a game. This person asks her to send increasingly personal information and pictures, leaving Zoe and Molly unsure how to respond. It reinforces the safety strategy ‘If asked to share and your parents aren’t aware, say no!’ The newly released Grade 3 comic book - Zoe and Molly Online – Caught in the Net – focuses on a different safety message. It tells the story of young girls Zoe and Molly who are playing online games when they accidently come across inappropriate online content. It teaches children what to do when they find themselves in this uncomfortable situation.
While there are no interactive activities available to complement the newly-released Grade 3 lesson which uses the Zoe and Molly Online – Caught in the Web comic book, click here to access the original Zoe and Molly Online Grade 4 activities.
