Online Safety Stations for Second Graders
By Kezia E.
A collaborative station-rotation packet that teaches 2nd graders to recognize safe websites, spot tricky pop-ups, and protect their personal information online. Students move between stations to practice identifying safe signs, discussing what to do when something feels wrong, and sharing ideas with classmates.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a 45-minute station rotation with small groups of 3-4 students, pairing one station with a brief whole-class launch that introduces the 'safe playground' comparison.
- Discussion question: What is one sign that tells you a website is safe, and what should you do if a pop-up asks for your name or money?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Pre-read the station cards aloud, and provide picture cues or a sorting mat with green checkmarks and warning symbols so students can match signs without relying on reading alone.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to create their own 'Safe or Tricky?' example and explain their reasoning to a partner.
- Estimated time: About 10 minutes per station, plus 5 minutes for the launch and a brief wrap-up where groups share one takeaway.
