Do I need an AI account to do these?

Not for the first four — they're paper, phone keyboard, and conversation. Activities 5–10 need access to an AI tool, and for under-13s that should be a kid-appropriate one or your own account with you present.

What age are these for?

Roughly 5–12, in the order given. The unplugged ones work from about five; the checking activities land best from about eight, when children can hold the idea that a confident voice might be wrong.

Which single activity should I do if I only do one?

The expert test. Nothing else teaches so much in ten minutes, because your child is the authority for once and the machine visibly fails in front of them.

Are these enough on their own?

They build understanding, which is half of it. The other half is habit, and habit needs repetition on real projects — which is why activity nine is the one to repeat rather than the one to tick off.

Which of these need a COPPA parental-consent flow?

Activities 1 through 4 need no account at all — they are paper, conversation and a kitchen table. Activities 5 through 10 use an AI service, and general-purpose AI products are almost universally 13-and-over in their terms, which is a direct consequence of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act: collecting personal information from a child under 13 requires verifiable parental consent, and most general products chose to set an age floor rather than build a consent system. So for a child under 13, run those activities on your own account with your child beside you — or use a product that is actually built for their age and has a real consent flow.

Our district restricted AI. Are these activities off-limits?

No. A district AI policy governs school devices, school accounts and schoolwork. What you do together at home on your own account is your call as the parent. Read the actual policy — it is usually posted — and then be explicit with your child about which rules apply where, because that distinction is not obvious to a ten-year-old and getting it wrong at school is genuinely costly for them.

My child’s teacher asked for AI-literacy activities. Can I share these?

Yes, and the grade-band table above is the part to send. It maps each activity to a CSTA level, which is the vocabulary most US computer science standards are written in, so a teacher can see immediately where an activity fits without having to translate it. The four no-account activities work as-is for a full classroom.
