The SurfSafe 33
Thirty-three practical safety skills. Each one is a specific, observable behavior a child can use the same day they learn it.
Skills, not trivia.
A SurfSafe skill is not a vocabulary word or a quiz answer. It is something a child does: checking a sender, adding a second lock, reducing a location clue, pausing under pressure.
Kids earn each skill badge by demonstrating the behavior in play. A skill may show up in more than one game, but each skill has one home department and one official badge.
