Free gifts that aren’t free

Fake prizes, free gems and password traps

Level 4: Staying safe with money · from age 8 · 3 minutes · 4 Kesho Stars

The story

Musa is playing his favourite game. A pop-up says: “FREE 10,000 gems! Just log in here with your password.”

The big idea

Real prizes don’t ask you to pay first, or to type a password, PIN or a parent’s phone number on a strange page.

Ask at home

Ask your child to show you a game or app they use, and look together for anything that could be a fake offer.

The full lesson, with its questions and Kesho Stars, is in the myKesho kids app.
