A grown-up logs in with you.The big ideaA password is a family key. A grown-up signs in with you.
How it works
To log in is to say, it is me!
A password is the secret key that opens the door.
You do not type a password alone: a grown-up signs in with you.
When you are done, log out so the door closes.
Example 1: A new game asks
- A new game asks you to log in.
- Find a grown-up.
- Sit with them while they sign in.
Example 2: Look away
- The grown-up types the password.
- You look away, like Lena did, up at the ceiling.
- Count the spots on the ceiling together.
Typing the key.Example 3: A friend wants it
- A friend asks, what is the password?
- Say, it is a family key!
- Say, come and play. A friend can draw with you.

Watch out
