Primary school children will be challenged to spot online scams in a new BBC Teach Live Lesson on Safer Internet Day. The live interactive online safety lesson will embrace this year’s theme which is ‘Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online’.
At 11am on Tuesday 11 February, pupils across the UK will become players in a new game, Scam Smashers. They will be challenged to outsmart digital tricksters to protect their personal information. Working together with their class, pupils will need to use their detective skills to make it to the end of the Live Lesson and beat the scammers once and for all.
Schools can submit their shout-outs to be read out live during the lesson and share how they will be marking Safer Internet Day. They simply need to email live.lessons@bbc.co.uk with Safer Internet Day in the subject heading.
The Live Lesson is part of a raft of new online safety resources from BBC Teach.
The Safer Internet Day 2025 Live Lesson will be broadcast on BBC Teach and CBBC. It will be available on-demand on BBC Teach and BBC iPlayer once the broadcast ends. A teaching guide and activity sheets are available to download ahead of the lesson.
