Remember: Ask: can this really happen? A video can be cut or staged. If it asks for anything, tell a grown-up.
Tariq and the roof shot
Read the story first. Then answer.
The roof shotTariq watched a video of a man on a roof who threw a ball over the garden and into a tiny tub on his very first go. Tariq tried it with a sponge ball. He threw five times and missed every time. Grandpa played the video slowly, one picture at a time, and Tariq cried, "Look, it jumps!" A piece was missing. "The video was cut," said Grandpa. "Maybe the man threw fifty times and kept only the best one." Then Grandpa and Tariq made a video of Waffles the hamster flying through the clouds, with paper wings, a sky picture and a fan. "A video can show something that never happened," said Grandpa. Tariq's real shot took a month of tries.

Videos too good to be true
1It was cut, with the misses left out A video can be cut. Maybe the man threw fifty times and kept only the best one.
2No Tariq and Grandpa staged it with paper wings, a sky picture and a fan. A video can show something that never happened.
32, 3, 4, 1 Tariq could not do it, so Grandpa played the video slowly. They saw a cut and then made a staged video to be sure.
4Can this really happen? Likes and length cannot tell you if a video is real. 'Can this really happen?' can.
51-B, 2-A, 3-C A short clip can be any of these, so one clip cannot prove it.
6Tap a link, Type your login, Pay for a prize A link, a login and a payment are asks. A plane-folding video teaches and asks for nothing. A login is for your family only.
7False Omar's mom said thank you for stopping, and that telling her was exactly right.
8tries Real skill takes lots of practice. Grandpa kept the misses in the video too.
9Do not tap it, and show a grown-up A login is for your family only. Sharing a trick helps it spread, so show a grown-up instead.
10Views do not make a video true. Ask: can this really happen? Lots of views do not make a video true.
11A boy who falls and tries again for a month It shows the falls, not only the win. Money in a day and free coins for everyone are too good to be true.
