Should social media apps and online games have age limits?

Today, in Jigsaw, Year 5 were looking at online safety and the age limits that some apps and online games have.

We started our lesson by completing a quiz about the age limits that different activities (such as driving a car, buying alcohol, getting married, being criminally responsible for your actions and owning a phone) have.

Next, we discussed the potential risks that we could face when going online.

Finally, we discussed the age limits that different apps have. We talked about the pros and cons for apps having age limits and why we think age limits are been put in place.
