D.A.R.E. Activity Lessons

D.A.R.E. America and iKeepSafe.org have teamed up to create 14 simple activities that teach important internet safety principles to children (4-10 years).  Each activity is designed to be used with a parent, teacher, or law enforcement officer or perhaps an older child. Expect about 10 minutes for each activity.

Print out each page, grab a pencil and enjoy a few minutes with your child!
