Research shows that nearly two-thirds of young people encounter false or misleading content online every six months - ranging from fake news stories to realistic AI-generated images.
To help families tackle this, Internet Matters has created Find the Fake, a suite of interactive, age-appropriate quizzes you can complete at home with your child.
What children learn during the quizzes:
Fact-Checking Basics: How to evaluate whether information, news, or images are trustworthy.
Understanding AI: How AI tools create realistic content and how to identify AI-generated images or stories.
Spotting Misinformation: Recognising the signs of scams, clickbait, and exaggerated claims.
Taking Action: Simple steps children can take before sharing posts or believing what they read online.
Each interactive quiz takes around 10 minutes to complete and offers age-tailored tracks so primary-aged pupils can learn at a level that works for them.
