Remember: Before you post a photo, check the background, who sees it, and that everyone said yes.
Zainab and the Blue Comets
Read the story first. Then answer.
The relay photoZainab's team, the Blue Comets, won the relay on sports day. The teacher gave them a trophy, and Dad took a photo of the four friends with the cup. A goose waddled into the middle! At home Zainab wanted to post it, but Dad said, "Let's check it first." Check one is the background: behind the team was a school bus with the school's name on it, and a street sign by the gate. Check two is who sees it. Dad drew three circles on a napkin, family, friends and everyone, and Zainab picked the small one. Check three is whether everyone said yes. Esi said, "My mom says no photos of me online." Zainab said thank you, and the team photo stayed on Dad's tablet.

Sharing photos safely
1Family only, the small one She picked the small circle, family only: Baba, Nana and her cousins.
2The background Look at what is behind the people. A photo shows more than faces.
3False Esi and her mom get to decide about Esi's face. Zainab said thank you and kept the photo on Dad's tablet.
4False A goose is not a person, and it has no face to keep private.
5The school bus with its name, A street sign by the gate A school name and a street sign can show where you learn or live. A trophy and a goose show nothing.
63, 2, 1 Background, who sees it, and did everyone say yes.
71-A, 2-C, 3-B Each check asks one question before a photo goes out.
8Esi and her mom get a say in a photo of Esi A photo of someone is partly theirs. They and their grown-ups get a say.
9circle Family, friends or everyone: choose the smallest circle that works.
10Before we post Once a photo is out, other people can save it and pass it on, so we check before, not after.
11The school name shows where you learn, so check first A school name or a street shows where you learn or live, and that is private from strangers and people online.
12Just the goose, grass and sky, shown to family only The goose photo has nothing to give away, a small circle, and no person who needs to say yes.
13Your own words: a grown-up reads it.
