Introduction - this can be done by the thinking robot and two operators or Splats narrator
Operator One
Welcome to our show...
Operator Two
...all about E- Safety
Thinking Robot (speaks in a Robotic voice)
Operator One (translates)
It has all been created today by the pupils.-a round of applause please
Team Robot 1 (runs in)
I have reports Captain of safety problems on Planet Earth.
Captain Splat
Thinking Robot analyze recent activity.
Thinking Robot and two operators (translates)
Operator One (reading or hearing from the robot)
Planet Earth: Population 7.5 billion.
Operator Two
Early digital age.

All pupils come into positions on stage in pairs, operators and robot to edge of stage. Thinking Robot joins in.
(pupils could also say some of this together)
Captain Splat
Computers can do wonderful things
Pupils walking and passing scarves to each other randomly
Passing messages from person to person at lightning speeds, building bridges
between us, swapping information.
Team Robot passing the scarves.
Making new friends and meeting old ones.
Wave and then shake hands.
Taking pictures.
Take a pose with scarf while other pupil takes photo then swap roles.
Learning from each other and sharing our creative ideas.
One pupil does a trick; the other copies (e.g. throw under the leg)
Working together and creating magic
Scrunch up scarf and all blow in the air or similar- Music Stops
But sometimes using a computer can cause problems and even be dangerous
Team Robot (all pupils)
Dangerous?! But why? (big hand action)
Captain Splat
These lines can also be said by the pupils – they can be grouped in pairs so easier to remember where they speak
from - if too difficult they can be said by Captain Splat or Operators with scripts/clipboards…
Well you can never be sure who is writing the message & what their intentions
are. Online anybody can be pretending to be anybody and they don’t even need
a disguise, just a change of photo. And of course once a message is sent it is
out there forever. Quick! Send a message.
If we share information we hadn’t meant to or say things we didn’t mean, it’s
not possible to get it back again, once it is sent. We must be sure we know who
we are talking to and be careful of what we send. We will learn more about that
today...
looking to get their scarf back, tugging from partner . or just looking lost and confused a can not trace where their
scarf is - then they do they go off and turn round their mask to Meanie side
Today we are going to imagine what these problems and dangers would look
like if they were aliens and take you on a journey into outer space. Welcome to
Everyone
Team Robot versus the Meanies.
Pupils speak these lines as Meanies
Operator One
On a planet green and slimy

Pupil Six
Yes, that’s right because we’re mean.
Pupil Seven
We live off energy from problems and nastiness.
Pupil Eight
Whenever someone is mean to someone we get bigger and stronger.
All Meanies
We like tripping people up - put out feet and giggle
Putting people off – blow raspberry - and making them do mean things.
Lieutenant Meanie
I spotty lots of life, your Meaniness. On a planet called Earth.
King Meanie

Hello and welcome to...
All pupils
‘It’s impossible to know!’
Host
Let’s welcome our first contestant… What's your name?
Sam
Erm er.... Sam
Host
Hello, “Erm, er, Sam”! First question! You are online chatting to people. The
person says they are 10 years old and a boy. They send you a message asking
what football team do you support.
Now who is this person? Is it?
A] A 10 year old boy?
B] A human sized chicken?
C] Elvis Presley/ Anything you want to choose?
D] A grown up?
Sam
But it's impossible to know.
Host
Correct, it's impossible to know!

You have won absolutely nothing!
Thank you for playing it's impossible to know.
gets cast (and audience) to clap/cheer… comes back as
Captain Splat
If you are ever on a game that allows you to chat to someone, you never know
who that person really is.
SO, and this IS VERY IMPORTANT, don’t speak to anyone online who you don’t
know in real life, and NEVER, ever meet up with them. People you don’t know
are strangers.
They are not always who they say they are. And don’t give away ANY pictures
or personal information of yourself or your friends.
Sam
But they said we had won competitions...
Captain Splat
Yes, but that was just another way to get people to click. Sometimes messages
we see aren’t obviously fake. They can seem convincing so we have to stay
alert.
Sam
So what should I do?
Safety Robot
You must be careful, and if you make a mistake you should tell an adult you
trust.
Captain Splat
That’s right; they should always know what you are doing online. Everyone can
get it wrong sometimes and they will find a way to help you.
Sam
Wow! I’m so glad I learnt all about that!
Captain Splat
Well it’s ok as you haven’t started playing the game we should be able run our
anti meanie software...
Sam
Umm, I did send this message to my friends as they said if I shared it I would
get prizes and. ..
Mum
Shhh quiet! look it’s the news....and there are aliens invading!
Meanies move fwd/on spot ferociously attacking…freeze

Reporter (with microphone/hat)
This is (Name) reporting for Team Robot News. Meanies have invaded Planet
Earth. Secret Agent Splat and his robot are in the city centre now.
Secret Agent Splat
Thanks [NAME]
I am here in the centre of The Meanie invasion.
Secret Agent Splat
We know not to send out our information but the Meanies have other tricks!
Half the pupils are walking around as humans on phones. The other half are Meanies following them and looking
over their shoulders.
Secret Agent Splat
Well, you can see that the people here are sending messages to each other.
But when they get a mean message they don’t ignore it like they should. The
meanie that is following them makes them send a mean message back. This
makes things much, much worse and eventually they turn into meanise
themselves. Let’s watch.
Meanies (chanting, quietly at first)
Meanie me, meanie me...
Humans gradually turn into meanies and change their hats. Eventually they are all meanies.
Reporter
So, the meanies are trying to make humans into meanies just like them?
Secret Agent Splat
Exactly right!
Meanies (all can say different things)
That’s rubbish; hate it, no good, stupid, hate you, that’s silly,
Meanies notice the Reporter and Secret Agent Splat
Secret Agent Splat
Let’s get out of here!
Reporter
And now over to the Splats Lab where our scientists have been studying this
phenomenon!
Chased off stage by meanies.
Meanies (chanting and advancing into audience and sit down as audience
Meanie me, meanie me

MUSIC - NEWS REPORT
Reporter
Here I am at the headquarters of the research lab speaking with Doctor Splat.
Now, Doctor, you’ve been studying the meanies haven’t you?
Dr. Splat
Yes, here at the Splats Lab we have been studying the meanie invading forces.
We have studied the footage from the city and have some startling conclusions.
Let’s show you...
We have slowed the video down so we can see how they work.
Meanies blast out in all directions (slow motion) to the edge of the stage
This was th e scene earlier when we tried blowing up the Meanies. As you
can see they rather liked that!
Meanies
Yipppeee!
Secret Agent Splat
You see they giggle, wriggle their fingers and tongue’s and seem to multiply
in all sorts of directions and then just watch the humans.
As you can see. The humans each have a meanie on them. If they get a mean
message they start saying mean things back.
Humans start becoming meanies.
Pause! See, there! If you look carefully their fingers go a bit wriggly and their
tongue sticks out, a clear sign of early meanie infection. Play!
All humans are meanies.
Pause! Interestingly the Meanies just stand back here and giggle they don’t
seem to need to do much more. Play!
11
Original meanies back off and humans (now meanies) act mad at one another.
Pause! They think their friends are talking about them, laughing at them and
before long everyone has gone full Meanie.
The problem is that when people are messaging online it’s very difficult to
know how the other person is really feeling because you aren’t with them. You
might think twice about being mean if you did know. And online messages are
often seen by lots of other people which can make things even worse. So you
see our victims are just becoming more and more loyal to the Meanies. They
are even starting to chant.
All Meanies and Humans
Meanie Me, Meanie Me, Meanie Me,
Meanies coming towards audience.
Reporter
Scary stuff. So, can we fix it.
Dr. Splat
I think so. Let me bring in my research team...
Enter three headed doctor in labcoat.or three doctors
Dr Splatto
Hello – I am Dr. Splat.
Dr Splatty
… and I am Dr Splatty.

Activate Team Robot – Thinking Mode

Coach Robot
Activate Virtual Meanies!
Meanies enter and stand by any Team Robot member and then freeze.
Dr Splatto
We have created virtual reality meanies.
12
Dr Splatty
Think carefully before posting anything online.
Dr Splattier
The Meanies will try to rush you into doing things. Mean things.
All Meanies
Go on go on, quick quick quick, funny funny, he’s rubbish, say something mean.
Coach Robot
Remember, what you say on the internet stays there for a very long time.
Meanies
For ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever. Giggles.
Dr. Splat
So never put anything online that might be hurtful or mean. If someone is being
mean to you we have a few ways to help you with what to do...
One member of Team Robot comes forward and mimes this section with all the meanies.
Dr Splatty
Here someone receives a mean message...
Dr. Splatto
...and we can see the Meanies encourage them to respond.
Meanies
Go on, go on. Say something mean back. Go, on.
Dr Splattier
It’s much easier to be mean online than in real life.
Meanies
They aren’t here, no-one will know, go on be mean.
Dr. Splat
That’s right – it’s very easy to give in and be mean and, because you aren’t with
them, you don’t truly know what the other person is thinking or feeling. Always
ask yourself before sending a message, “How would I feel?”
See what happens if they do respond (Everybody turns into Meanies)
13
Dr Splat
That didn't go very well... Quick undo!
The humans and Meanies reverse back in to position.
Now, let’s see how things will turn out if we put a few thinking rules in place
first. What rules should these be, Team Robot?
Team Robot member
Always think before sending a message.
Team Robot members
“Put yourself in their shoes” “How would I feel?” “Is this a kind message?”
then “Would I be happy for my teacher to read it?”
Dr Splat
And if you get a mean message...
Team Robot member
Get evidence...
Team Robot Member
Tell a trusted adult.
Dr Splat
Eventually the Meanie will give up or get into trouble.
The Meanies angrily skulk off.
Dr Splat
Remember, never send a message when angry or upset
Dr Splat
But how can we keep cool?
Coach Robot
We can show you how.
Dr Splatto
Here is an angry person.
Team Robot member comes up looking angry.
Dr Splatty
Look how angry they are.
Dr. Splattier
But we can help them calm down.
Dr Splat
Remember, never send a message when angry or upset.
14
Before you send a message, always: Relax. Think. Breathe, breathe and
breathe some more. Or just go and do something else, like practicing your
favorite tricks!
Dr Splat
In fact, if you make sure that you aren’t mean, then the meanies have nothing to
do at all!
Meanies being mean to Team Robot but Team Robot ignore them, shake hands with each ther and leave. Meanies
all become weak and collapse.
POSSIBLE EXTRA
We now present to you the Team Robot Circus Show! (3.4) The students
quickly pick up circus equipment and put on a show. Dr Splat RESET MEANIES
TO HAVE FUN! TEAM ROBOT STAY FOCUSSED!

Half the class on stage as Team Robot, half off stage as Meaines.
We have now collected all our data from our research to see how we can defeat the Meanies let’s get the Robots
ready from the other classes.
Team Robot 1
A message from the Lab Captain! They say their research is complete.
Captain Splat
Our research shows that the best way not to be mean is to feel good about
yourself. To stay safe from the Meanies we need to stay active, have fun and
be alert.
Team Robot 2
They say no one can make you mean if you chose not to be.
Team Robot 3
We have entered all the data and the computer has a way to defeat the
meanies.
Team Robot 4
It says “disco dancing robots”, Captain.
Captain Splat
Ok! Disco dancing robots it is!
MUSIC: GONNA FLY NOW
Calling all robots calling all robots prepare to fight the Meanie invasion using
the power of dance
The Robots from Classes One, Two and Three join in here. They have new operators who read out what they like
and their specialty. Examples are below but pupils can make up their own. Robots, each with an operator, come to
the front. In this narration everyone joins in to mime the hobbies of the robots.
16
Operator 1
Our first Robot all the way from Class One our Thinking Robot . . .
Likes Football, Painting and wants to make a difference to this world
Specialty dance is The Robot (or The Thinker!)
Operator 2
Our Safety Robot all the way from Class . . . .
Likes Kung Fu, snooker and likes saving the universe in his spare time
Specialty dance is The Safety Dance!
Operator 3
Our Coach Robot all the way from Class . . . Likes singing, dance and wants to
save the planet Specialty dance is The Robot Moon walk
Operator 4
Our Final Robot all the way from Class 4 is the Disco Robot. Likes milkshakes,
opera and defeating naughty meanies. Specialty dance is Disco Freestyle!
Captain Splat
We are going to use robots, and the skills we have learnt today, so we don’t
catch the meanie virus and become meanies ourselves.
To operate our robots and to show how we can focus we have devised a
special disco code so the meanies can't attack our computers.
MUSIC - BOOGIE NIGHTS
Defence - Disco arms!
Dodging - Disco jumps!
Dispersing - Disco sweep!
Attacking - Disco Kung fu!
Team Robot 5.
Here come the Meanies! Robots get ready!
Team Robot backs off as Meanies come on led by the king.
All Meanies
All boo for the king of the meanies! Booo.
King Meanie
Thank you, thank you. You really are too mean.
C a p t a i n S p l at
Oh no, booing is a bit mean isn’t it, quick everyone smile and wave at the
Meanies (to the King) you almost caught me there! Get meanies into position
and the robots.
17
Captain Splat
Hello Mr. King! You won’t be able to take over the Earth.
King Meanie
I think I can. Lots of humans have told us their secrets and lots of them have
started being mean to each other online. That makes us strong!
Captain Splat
Not strong enough to defeat Team Robot!
King of the Meanies
Let's see who is smirking after I've blasted you with my lasers!
Captain Splat
Ooops, he is shooting at us. Before we do anything else, we need to STAY
ALIVE!
MUSIC: STAYIN’ ALIVE
Meanies describe attacks, Team Robot does the dances. Meanies freestyle their part.
Meanie 1
Attack!
Meanie 2
Attack again!
Meanie 3
Shields!
Meanie 4
Defend!
King Meanie
We are defeated! You were too smart, and too calm, for us to defeat you. But
what were those awesome moves you were doing?
Captain Splat
That was Team Robot disco dancing!
King Meanie
That was cool! Can we do it too!
(OR CAN continue to win over meanies and GO INTO EMERGENCY DANCE)
(or) NAAHH Dance-nonsense! Just wait until my Meanie-troops get here...
Captain Splat
We have to try and win him over.
18
Captin Splat
It's time for the EMERGENCY LAUGHTER DANCE!
MUSIC - EMERGENCY DANCES
Pupils free style as the music plays. Some come up to do the special dances.
King of the Meanies
If you can't beat them. Join them!
Captain Splat
Of course, meanness spreads easily. But so can many other things. Like
kindness, and sharing, and teaching. And… Disco dancing!
Meanies and Team Robot merge.
Captain Splat
And so the meanies were defeated by a combination of calmness, caution, and
sweet disco dance moves. So as we travel this world with its billions of
messages and many computers; remember to stay safe!
Pupils
Don’t give away your personal details.
Remember your password is *your* password, not even to share with a friend.
And if you are tempted to chat to a stranger online, ask yourself who is
sending you messages? A friend? A chicken? A meanie?
A l l p up i l s
It's impossible to know
C a p t a i n S p l at
Make sure you know who you are talking to.
We m i g h t say mean things online and we can’t truly know how we are
making someone feel, Use your skills to not make it into a Meanie Me. And if
someone is mean to you and you are upset by things – talk to a friend, teacher,
family.
19
If you are worried about something online. Tell a trusted grown-up. And most
importantly… be yourself and do what you enjoy.
All pupils
We are all different people who enjoy different things and we must look after
one another! AND
All pupils
Don’t become a meanie!
Captain Splat
And so with their new knowledge the people of Earth defended themselves
against the meanies and didn’t let themselves be beaten by sneaky tricks or
becoming mean themselves. They even convinced the meanies to become
disco dancers like them!
