Deepfake response game: pause, check, report (S1-S3)
Deepfake response game · BEETS AI · Theme B · #16 · v0.1 (draft)
⚠️ Every person, school, phone and account number in this scenario is fictional; it involves no real school, platform or person, and does not describe how to make deepfake content. This document is a draft and must be reviewed by an educator before publication.
Equipment
□ Projector (to play or show the scenario)
□ One set of decision cards per group (photocopy the cards below and cut them out)
□ Whiteboard or interactive board (for the chant)
How to play
- Play or read out the "scenario" (project the text below, or play a roughly 20-second voice note or clip that claims to be from the school office).
- Give each group a set of five decision cards.
- Put the things you *should* do in order; set the things you *should not* do aside and write down why.
- Check the answers as a class (see the last page), then hear the teacher's debrief.
Scenario (to project)
[A roughly 20-second voice note or clip that claims to be from the school office]
"Dear parents, this is a message from the school office. There has been a change to this Friday's exchange activity. Please pay an additional activity fee of $380 by today and provide your child's identity card number for insurance registration. Please transfer the amount to account number 123-456-789. If this is not completed today, your child's place will be cancelled. Thank you."

Debrief: why a fake can be convincing
- A voice and a face can be imitated — so "it sounds / looks right" does not mean "it is real".
- It creates urgency — "by today", "your place will be cancelled" leave no time to think.
- It borrows a familiar identity — the school, a form teacher, the office — all roles you trust, so your guard drops.
If it really happens: what a pupil should do
□ Pause — do not pay, do not hand over personal details, do not forward, do not click the link.
□ Check — contact the school office directly on the official number or website you already have, not the number in the message.
□ Report — tell a parent, teacher or another trusted adult, and report the message so the school can warn others.
Answer key
| Order | Card | Marking notes |
|---|
| 1 | Pause | No payment, no details, no forwarding. A pupil who can say "stop and do nothing first" meets the mark. |
| 2 | Check a second source | Ring the school office on the official number or use the official website you already have — not the number in the message. |
| 3 | Report | Tell a parent, a teacher or another trusted adult, and report the message. |
| Do not | Why it is wrong |
|---|
| Ignore | You would not be tricked yourself, but nobody would know the school is being impersonated; the school and other parents need to know so they can warn everyone else. |
| Share it on | Most harmful. Forwarding helps spread the fake to more people, so more people can be tricked. |
Chant: Stop, ask, tell a grown-up.
Core idea: "sounds / looks right" does not mean "is real"; with a suspicious message, first verify outside the message, then report it.
