1. What are some primary-friendly “scam scenarios” that you could use in the classroom for encouraging students to critically think about messages they receive? Create your own “fake scam” to share with the community so they can try and spot the tell-tale signs!

Scam scenarios include:

• Telemarketer calling asking for personal details and or bank details
• Text message or email scams such as “you have won!”
• Computer viruses
