Lettuce Talk
About AI
Team up with Taco and Burger to out-smart the Sneaky Bot and stay safe with AI.
Lettuce talk about AI safety!
For Parents & Grown-ups
"Lettuce Talk About AI" is a quick, friendly game that helps kids ages 8-12 practice three core AI-safety habits. Here is what it teaches, how to keep the conversation going at home, and where to learn more.
What your child practiced
- Keep secrets secret. Never share private things like where you live, in words or in pictures.
- AI can be wrong. Check important things with a trusted grown-up or a real source.
- If it feels weird, tell a grown-up. A safe app never asks a child to keep secrets from their grown-ups.
Talk about it at home
- Ask: "What kinds of things should stay private online, even from a friendly-sounding app or chatbot?"
- Try together: ask an AI a question you already know the answer to, and spot where it gets something wrong.
- Make a family rule: "If anything online feels weird, or asks you to keep a secret, you'll tell me, and you won't be in trouble."

How AI is used, and your child's privacy
The lesson text was drafted with Claude (Anthropic) and reviewed line by line by a teacher. In the game, "Burger's AI Coach" writes a fresh, age-appropriate tip live, also powered by Claude, with a safe pre-written backup when there is no internet. The game never asks for, collects, or saves any information about your child. anthropic.com
