Kavi and the New App

Kavi the owl finds a brand-new app 📲 with shiny buttons. Kavi's wing hovers over the big Start button… then stops! "This tool is new — I have never used it," hoots Kavi. "Before I try a new tool, I ask a grown-up first. They make sure it is safe and okay!" 🙋

Questions parents ask

+What does 'ask a grown-up before a new tool' mean for kids?

It means that whenever a child wants to use a tool they have never used before — a new app, a new game, a new website, or a new device — they stop and ask a trusted grown-up first. The grown-up checks that the new tool is safe and okay before the child starts.

+How do I teach a child to ask before using a new tool?

Give them one simple test: 'Is this NEW — something I have never used?' If yes, go ask a trusted grown-up first. If a grown-up already set it up or already said yes, it is already okay to use. Practise the rule with everyday apps and games.

+What age is this 'Ask Before a New Tool' lesson for?

It is a Stage 2 lesson for roughly ages 6–7 in KAVI Academy's AI-literacy track. It builds on earlier ideas about machines and safe use, and uses a story and sorting games with very little reading.

+Why is 'ask before a new tool' part of AI literacy?

New apps and AI tools can ask for information or show things that are not for children. Teaching kids early to pause and ask a trusted grown-up before trying any new tool builds the safe habit they need to use any technology, including AI, well.

+Is the lesson free?

Yes — this overview and the printable PDF handout are free. The full interactive lesson and the endless practice are part of KAVI Academy.
