Free, And Other Impossible Things
Your child sorts six offers and gives a reason for each decision. The starting point is a question they can ask, not a list of frightening stories.

WHAT THEY WORK TOWARD
A clear plan for asking for help.
Four next steps in their own words, with the person they would tell. The course treats getting help as a useful action, not a reason to feel embarrassed.
The four steps, and the name of the person they would tell
TAKE A LOOK INSIDE
One clear step at a time.
4 lessons. Open any lesson below to see what they will do.
01Free, And Other Impossible ThingsSort six offers and explain what makes each one possible or suspicious.
A stranger cannot give away a thousand pounds of things a company sells - not unlikely, impossible. Free always has a payment; if you cannot name it, you have not found it.
They finish with: Six offers sorted into possible and impossible, with the reason for each
02The ShapeLook for the common pattern of a prize or problem, pressure, and secrecy.
An account, a game and a gran: three different subjects, one shape. A prize or a problem, a hurry, and a secret - and the counter-move is to break the secret.
They finish with: Five messages with the three parts marked on each
03Nobody Picked YouExplore why mass messages can sometimes feel surprisingly personal.
A million messages and one reply in ten thousand is a hundred people, and still worth doing because sending is free. That explains the spelling, the vagueness and the coincidences.
They finish with: The scale worked out in numbers, and three tells explained by it
04What To Do When One WorksWrite a help-seeking plan and name the trusted person you would tell.
Everyone gets caught eventually, and the damage is decided by the ten minutes afterwards. Stop, tell somebody, change it everywhere, tell the company - in that order.
They finish with: The four steps, written in your own words, and who you would tell

IS THIS THEIR NEXT ADVENTURE?
Made for ages 9–13.
For children encountering online offers, game messages, and unexpected requests. Short practice examples make this a conversation you can have together.
Start together, follow their curiosity, and give them time to try things out.
TOOLS, SAFETY & PRIVACY
Designed for kids. Clear information for parents.
- One family account, set up by you.
You pay, then choose a password. Your child signs in with a first name and, if you want, an age range you pick from a short list. Never a surname, date of birth, school, address or photograph.
- You can see everything they make.
Their answers, notes and activities are in their portfolio, open to you whenever you are signed in. Ask us and we will show you everything we hold, delete all of it, or stop collecting more.
- Nothing is used to train anything.
What they type and make is kept so a person can review it for safety. It is not used for advertising, profiling, or training any model. No advertising cookies and no third-party trackers run anywhere your child goes.
- Kept while you are with us, then gone.
Creations and portfolio stay while your account is open and for 30 days after you close it. Safety logs are kept for 12 months. If we ever change what we collect, we email you first.
The full detail, in plain words: our privacy policy.
A FEW THINGS PARENTS ASK
Good questions. Clear answers.
Will completing this course make my child scam-proof?
No course can promise that. This one gives children patterns to question and a plan for getting a trusted adult involved, including if they have already clicked or replied.
Does my child need any experience with AI?
No. Each lesson explains the idea with examples before the activity, and nothing asks them to operate an AI tool — the course is about understanding, not driving one.
What exactly does Lesson 1 include?
A complete lesson — the video with Pip, its activity, and six offers sorted into possible and impossible, with the reason for each. It is the first of 4, and the rest of the course builds on it.
Is the $1 lesson a subscription?
No. It is one payment of $1 for Lesson 1, yours to keep and replay. Nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel. Only the membership renews, monthly, and only if you choose it.
Do we need other AI tools or paid accounts?
No. This course’s videos and interactive activities are inside CreatorKids. You do not need to buy an AI tool or open an outside AI account.
Can we use it on an iPad or tablet?
Yes. It runs in the web browser with nothing to install, on a laptop, Chromebook or tablet; a larger screen gives the activities more room.
Does a parent need to sit with them?
You handle the purchase and the two-minute set-up. After that the lessons are written for a child to follow on their own, at the pace of the video, with a trusted adult nearby for questions. Some activities invite a family conversation, and the end of the course is something they will want to show you.
What happens if we buy the full course later?
Your $1 buys Lesson 1 to keep and replay. Nothing renews automatically. If you choose the full course later, that payment is credited and the upgrade is $8.99.
Which purchase is right for our family?
Start with one lesson for $1, buy this whole course for $9.99, or choose library access for $19.99/month. The first two are one-time purchases. Membership renews monthly until you cancel.
Is there an annual membership?
Yes. The yearly option is $149/year for the same library access. You can compare it with the monthly option on the membership page. Membership access continues through your paid period if you cancel; separately purchased courses remain yours to revisit.
Does my child need to finish on a schedule?
No. Lessons are self-paced. Pause for an activity, replay an explanation, and come back when it suits your family. A course you buy outright is yours to keep; membership access lasts while subscribed.
