Tackling internet safety and making the dangers feel ‘real’ can be hard to achieve in the classroom, especially when you're tight on time. That's why we’ve created a powerful solution to help schools bring online issues to life. Our Online Safety Experiences place children at the centre of the action and create a safe space for them to engage emotionally, intellectually, and physically with issues around online safety.


We want to help you grab the opportunity of Safer Internet Day by offering you useful, free resources so we can work together towards a safer and better internet.


Sign up for a free taster week and run an immersive Online Safety lesson in your school! 




Safer Internet Resources for KS1 and KS2


Put children at the centre of their learning and create a safe space for them to engage with PSHE topics emotionally, intellectually & physically.


now>press>play’s PSHE Experiences engage pupils with online safety as a topic in a fun, effective and safe way.

Watching the class as they progressed through the Online Safety Experience was eye-opening. Although I have been teaching online safety for several years, I have never seen students ‘live’ through a situation like this. Donna Shah, Computing Specialist

Book a free taster week and find out how our immersive Experiences are a great way to explore and embed online safety with your pupils. Each Experience is supported with follow on resources that embed and extend the learning back in the classroom. 




1. KS1 Online Safety Experience


When you click on a pop-up whilst playing an online game, you are sucked into ‘Jungle Gym’. To escape, you must prove you’ve learnt how to stay safe online.


Through sound, story, and movement, children will learn:

  • To ignore pop-ups, fake competitions and spam emails

  • The dangers of giving out personal information online

  • People online are not always who they say they are



2. KS2 Online Safety Experience


When your best friend Jayden is mean to you, you share a secret of his with a ‘friend’ you meet online. Things quickly spiral out of control, and you find yourself being blackmailed. Will Jayden’s secret be posted online, and will he ever forgive you?


Children will learn during their adventure:

  • The dangers of giving out personal information online

  • The importance of reporting abuse and how to go about it

  • The difference between online and offline friends



3. Online Safety Follow-on Resources


Each Experience comes with between 4 and 5 ready-made literacy resources to do afterward, including our Recap, Discuss and Quiz resource which can be used to assess their Online Safety knowledge and promote in-depth discussions.


The resources include: Glossary, Recap, Discuss & Quiz, Reading Comprehension, KS2 Grammar & Punctuation, and Writing Opportunities.

This is THE perfect activity to tie in with Safer Internet Day. now>press>play offer versions of their Experience for both KS1 and KS2, meaning it can be used in teaching online safety across our entire school. Furthermore, the Experiences can be accessed at any point throughout the year and can be linked to a number of subject areas outside of Computing and PSHE. Donna Shah, Computing Specialist
