Officer Quackers
First-grade classroom videos

Six captioned unit starters, approximately 35 seconds each, for the 24-lesson cyber safety curriculum.

Watch. Pause. Discuss. Practice.

Play the video and pause when the question appears. Let students respond, then resume for the safe-choice review. Complete a matching worksheet afterward. These short starters support teacher-led lessons; they do not replace the full activities.

Captions are included in the picture. Question, answer, and closing screens are silent so the teacher can read them aloud. The full video routine takes about 3–5 minutes with discussion.

For offline use: Extract the video ZIP and keep this guide in the same folder as the MP4 files. Open this file in your web browser.

Never ask children to share real passwords, addresses, or private experiences with the class. Children may talk privately with a trusted adult. If one adult cannot help, encourage them to ask another.

Closing message: Be Smart • Be Kind • Be Safe Online!
