Spotting fake news game

Read posts on social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and watch videos together with your kids.

Play with them asking questions. You can turn the game into playing the detective.

Example questions:

  • Where did you saw the story/photo?
  • How many likes/shares does it have?
  • Who published it? Do you know him/her? What do you know about him/her? 
  • Who else is reporting the story?

Try to track down the story to its` original source.
