The internet is a wonderful tool when used correctly. Unfortunately, in today's society, we hear more and more stories of internet abuse. Abuse that often leads to tragedy.

Some students will be aware of internet safety, some will think they know what to do, some will take internet safety seriously, and others will ignore the warnings and go their own way. No matter what path each student elects to take, internet safety cannot be overemphasized. It can, however, be ignored by students if not presented in a way that students will accept.

IChat Bingo is a game that engages children in thoughtful discussions and internet safety.

It includes:

30 cards filled with internet language and behaviors. In addition to the 30 bingo cards and calling cards, the game includes:

A reproducible sheet of Words And Phrases that explains all of the words or phrases on the bingo boards

12 reproducible activity sheets that include matching, word puzzles, writing prompts, and word scrambles.

This bingo game is more than an effective teaching tool. It is a game that could save lives and heartaches.
