🚗💬 Carpool Conversations: Let’s Talk Digital Literacy! 💻📱

We’re excited to share a fun way for families to start meaningful conversations about digital literacy and well-being — right in the car!

Using simple prompts like:
👉 “Never have I ever…”
👉 “Who’s most likely to…”

These quick, verbal games make it easy (and fun!) for adults and kids to talk about real-life digital situations. The topics come directly from the Digital Literacy & Well-Being Curriculum created by Common Sense Media for students in kindergarten through 8th grade.

These activities are perfect for car rides, dinner time, or anytime you want to spark thoughtful conversations about technology, online safety, and healthy media habits.

🎥 Grade-Level Playlists:
• Grades K–2: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8TjVyuBdsCkqsk_CMzrIbmH1K_A6tN4s&si=zlRfnk8H0hmdVnG1

• Grades 3–5: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8TjVyuBdsCkgLUCCQXKVn53Lj1AZA8q4&si=9TF_nUPj6tMWz3tz

Let’s work together to raise smart, safe, and responsible digital citizens! 💙✨
