Lesson 1 — Smart Things Around Me

Age: Kindergarten (K1–K3, ages 4–6) Duration: 10–15 minutes Format: Web game (play right away, no prep needed) Concept: How "smart" things (with AI that listens, sees, responds) differ from ordinary things — AI is closer than you think

Learning Objective

Kids can tell which objects are "smart things" that listen, see, or respond, and which are ordinary — a first step in noticing the AI around them.

Do It Together (Parent-Child Co-participation)

Explore your real home together and find one "smart thing" that listens or answers back, then ask: "How does it know what we're saying?"
