Secret Keepers
A stranger in a Roblox game asks, “What school do you go to?” What should you say?
Don’t tell them. Your school is private information.
A website promises “100,000 FREE Robux just enter your username and password.” Should you do it?
No. It’s a scam.
You meet someone in a Roblox game who says they’re 10 years old, just like you. Can you be sure they really are?
No. You can’t see who’s really behind the screen.
Someone in a game is saying mean things about another player in chat. Name one thing you can do to help.
Don’t join in. (Also: report the bully, tell a trusted adult, send the target a kind message.)
Who is a “trusted adult”? Name one.
Any one: parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle, teacher, principal, school counsellor, coach, or police officer.
Name two pieces of information you should NEVER share with someone you only know from online games.
Any two of: full name, address, phone number, school, parents’ names, age, photos of yourself, or where you hang out.
True or false: Real Roblox employees will sometimes DM you to give you free Robux as a reward.
False. Roblox employees do not DM players with free Robux.
A person you just met in a game wants to be your “best friend” and messages you all the time. Name one warning sign in how they’re acting.
They’re moving too fast / trying to get super close very quickly. (Also accept: lots of compliments, wanting to talk privately, asking personal questions, telling you to keep things secret.)
You’re upset and want to post something mean about someone on social media. Name one reason you should not.
It can really hurt the other person / it stays online forever / it can get you in trouble at school or home / screenshots can come back at you.
True or false: If something online makes you feel weird, scared, or confused, you should wait until it gets really bad before telling anyone.
False. Tell a trusted adult right away.
Your Roblox username is “EmmaSmith2013.” What two things does this give away about you?
Your likely first and last name (Emma Smith) and your likely birth year (2013).
Someone sends you a link that says “Click here for a free Robux generator.” Name two things this link could actually do to you.
Any two: steal your Roblox username and password (phishing), install a virus or malware on your device, steal other accounts you’re logged into, sign you up for paid subscriptions, or capture your parents’ credit card info.
An online “friend” keeps asking you to move your chat to a different app like Discord or Snapchat, away from Roblox. Why might that be a bad sign?
Because they want to talk somewhere your parents can’t see and where Roblox’s safety tools don’t reach. It’s a red flag that they don’t want to be watched.
A classmate is being bullied in a group chat you’re in. You don’t want to make things worse. Name two helpful things you can do.
Any two: leave the group chat, screenshot the bullying as evidence, message the person privately to say you’re there for them, tell a trusted adult, report it to the platform.
You told a parent about something that happened online, but they got upset and took away your device for a week. Does that mean you should never tell them again?
No. Losing screen time for a week is still better than handling an online problem alone. A good parent’s anger usually comes from worry, not from you doing something wrong.
Your posting or sharing your room online. Name two things in your room or on your screen that could accidentally give away personal info.
Any two: a school uniform or jersey with a logo, family photos on the wall, report cards, street signs visible through a window, mail or packages with your address, the Wi-Fi name on your router, your real name in browser tabs or desktop shortcuts.
You “win” a rare giveaway on Discord, but the host says you need to pay a small shipping fee using a gift card first. What kind of scam is this?
An advance-fee scam (also called a “pay to claim a prize” scam).
An online friend asks you to keep your friendship a secret from your parents “because they wouldn’t understand.” What should that tell you?
It’s a major warning sign you should tell a trusted adult right away.
You’re being bullied online. What should you do BEFORE you reply to the bully?
Take screenshots, save evidence, and tell a trusted adult. Don’t reply while upset.
You don’t feel comfortable telling your parents about something that happened online. Name two other trusted adults you could go to instead.
Any two: teacher, principal, school counsellor, coach, older sibling, aunt or uncle, grandparent, a friend’s parent, or a helpline like Kids Help Phone (1-800-668-6868 in Canada).
A gaming friend you’ve never met in person asks for just your first name and the first letter of your last name, to “enter you in a giveaway.” Why is this still risky?
Because small pieces of info first name, first initial, general area, school can be combined over time to identify you. This is called social engineering: building a profile bit by bit.
A YouTuber tells viewers their “Robux generator” is 100% safe and shows a video of it working. Why is video proof still not proof that something is safe?
Videos can be faked, edited, or staged. The “working” example is often the YouTuber’s own account receiving Robux they bought. They may be paid to promote the scam or the scam pays them by stealing viewers’ accounts.
You’ve been gaming with an online friend for months. They know lots about you, seem really nice, and now they’re asking for a photo of you. Why is saying no still the rightanswer, even after all that time?
Time online doesn’t prove who someone really is. A real friend respects a no. Photos can be saved, shared, edited, or used to blackmail you and predators often spend months building trust before they ask for anything.
Someone you thought was a friend has been sharing embarrassing screenshots of your private messages in a group chat. Name three actions you can take.
Any three: screenshot what they shared, block them, report them on the platform, tell a trusted adult, save a record with dates and times, and know that in serious cases (like sharing intimate images), this can be a crime in Canada.
In Canada, what is the name and phone number of a free, confidential helpline kids can call 24/7 for any problem, including online issues?
Kids Help Phone 1-800-668-6868. (You can also text CONNECT to 686868.)
