The Dare Nobody Wanted to Refuse Interactive Adventure: Online Safety and Peer Pressure SEL Lesson with Film and Games, Ages 7 to 11

An interactive, ready-to-teach 45-minute lesson about online safety and peer pressure for students aged 7 to 11. Students don't just watch the story, they step inside it. It runs entirely from this download: no internet connection, no accounts and no student data. How it works Unzip the folder and open one file in your web browser. The animated film pauses for Pause and Predict and Choose the Ending, then students walk the Stop, Think, Tell Path story game, name feelings with the Feelings Thermometer, catch safe choices in the Safe Choice Catcher, build their own avatar and earn the Brave Choice Champion badge. The story On Saturday morning, a dare is going round the class group chat. Everyone says they have done it, and a message tells Ben not to be the only one who says no. The video makes his tummy feel tight. Ben puts the tablet down, tells his friend Maya how he really feels and, on Monday, finds the courage to tell Ms Harper. The film is gentle and does not show or describe the dare itself. What's included - The full 5-minute animated film, with built-in pauses for prediction and a class vote on the ending - Present mode for the whole class: Assembly (15 minutes), Lesson starter (30 minutes) or Full lesson (45 minutes), with class votes and a talk timer - Whole-class team mode with a scoreboard, or self-paced play for pairs and small groups - The Stop, Think, Tell Path story game, Feelings Thermometer, Safe Choice Catcher, Story Sequencer and Class Quiz - Circle Time Wheel with talk prompts - Avatar builder, Brave Choice Champion certificate, Passport stamp and a printable Home Connection card with a family Stop, Think, Tell plan - Teacher guide (PDF, 3 pages) with a safeguarding note, and a Read Me First guide - Every question read aloud, with large buttons for interactive whiteboards Learning objectives - Recognise when something online does not feel right, and that it is okay to say no - Use Stop, Think, Tell when something online feels worrying - Name trusted adults, and know you will never be in trouble for asking for help Technical notes The ZIP folder contains an HTML page, an MP4 film, MP3 audio, JPG and PNG images, WOFF2 fonts and PDF guides.
