The Free Prize Mystery

A prize message sounds exciting. But is it really what it seems? Join Cyro, Maya, and Nana for a seaside story about slowing down and checking together.

Talk about the story

What made the prize sound exciting? Who helped Cyro? What could you do if an unexpected message appeared?

Remember: you can ask for help even after you’ve clicked.

YOUR TURN, LITTLE EXPLORER

What would you do?

Try a few choices with Cyro. There’s always room to learn.

PRACTICE WITH CYRO

A message says, “You won a free prize!”

You weren’t expecting a prize. What could you do next?

THREE LITTLE THINGS TO REMEMBER

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

✋

1. Pause

Take a breath. You don’t have to tap or reply right away.

💬

2. Ask

Tell a trusted adult what you saw. It’s okay to ask for help.

✓

3. Check together

Let your trusted adult help check the message another way.

OFF THE SCREEN, INTO AN ADVENTURE

Eight arms.
Endless imagination.

Make a little shadow show together, just like Cyro. What can your hands become?

Let’s make a shadow show
  1. Ask a grown-up to set up a battery-powered light and a light-colored sheet or wall.
  2. Keep the floor clear and leave the light where your grown-up places it.
  3. Try a bird, a bunny, or your own sea creature with your hands.
  4. Tell a tiny story together. Silly voices welcome!
A NOTE FOR GROWN-UPS

Online safety starts
with a conversation.

“I see adults getting cybersecurity training at work. After building a website for a nonprofit teaching older adults online safety, I wondered: why aren’t we starting earlier?”

Cydeavor Kids introduces online safety through stories children can enjoy with you. Episode 1 focuses on unexpected messages, pausing, and getting help from a trusted adult.

Make it a conversation, not a test

Ask what your child noticed. Listen without blame. Remind them they can come to you even if they already clicked or shared something.
