FREE PRINTABLE · For parents of kids 8–12

Would your child spot the trick?

Get our free Family Code-Word Plan and 10 cut-out practice cards. It takes 15 minutes tonight, and your child will know exactly what to say.

Most dangers don’t look scary. They look friendly.

A smiling grown-up at pickup who knows your child’s name. A “kid” in a game chat who wants to move to another app. A neighbor who says, “Don’t tell your mom.”

In the free printable, your child practices what to say before it happens, starting with one simple question: “What’s our code word?”
