What is Band Runner?

Featuring characters and safety messaging from the Play Like Share animated films, Band Runner is a fun game that puts children’s knowledge about staying safe online to the test by asking them to help characters make safe choices.

Children will learn to:

• Distinguish between safe and unsafe behaviours online

• Feel more confident to seek help from a trusted adult when they need it

• Understand how they can use the Thinkuknow 8-10s website to seek advice and support on staying safe online

Jessie & Friends is a three-episode animated series which aims to equip 4-7 year olds with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to help them stay safe from sexual abuse and other risks they may encounter online.

Jessie & Friends follows the adventures of Jessie, Tia and Mo as they begin to navigate the online world. They learn that while the internet can be an exciting place where they can learn and have fun, sometimes they may encounter things online which make them feel worried, scared or sad.

The films are accompanied by a comprehensive resource pack for professionals, with session plans for each episode and guidance on safe and effective delivery. Also available are subtitled versions of the animations, storybooks, and posters for parents/carers and children.

This is a 360 degree film which includes our animated characters Zap and Zoom, who also feature in our Education Pack for 3-7 year olds. In this film we see Zap and Zoom help young children who are playing a video game at home.

This film should be used alongside the corresponding Education Pack for 3-7 year olds.

As this has been filmed in 360 video, you can watch it on a tablet or a smartphone and move around with your device to look around the room and discover our aliens Zap and Zoom. If watching on a computer, you can drag the screen around by using your mouse.
