Grades K–2

Password Monster

First, 3 picture cards explain what a password is. Then decide if each password is yummy (strong) or yucky (weak) — each password is shown as a tower of toy bricks, and a friendly American voice can read everything aloud. Get 6 or more right, then build your own super password.

A password is a secret key.

It opens your games and apps — just like a key opens your front door. Only you and your grown-up know it.

Grown-ups: read the cards aloud or tap “Read to me”, then let your child choose.

What this game teaches

  • Long, silly passwords are stronger
  • Names, birthdays and “123456” are easy to guess
  • Passwords are secret

Play together

  • Read each password out loud together.
  • Ask: “Could a stranger guess this?”
  • Make up a silly 3-word password as a family (but don’t use it for real!).
