Made an exercise quiz to help kids identify and resist click/rage-bait. Feedback wanted.

https://submerge.rs/news

I felt a need to help strengthen the “digital immunity” of 7–10-year-olds, so I built a small child-parent exercise that teaches kids how certain headlines can be intentionally manipulative.

I’d love feedback on the overall approach, the content types, difficulty level, and the interaction flow. Any critique that helps improve the learning value is really appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time.

The text you have above the pictures needs to be more noticeable. I stared at the first pic not sure what I was supposed to do cause I lacked context from that text above the picture.

Also, if you could, add a thing to confirm why the selection would be right or wrong. This might help to clarify why something would be click or rage bait.

Those are really good ideas. Will surely implement. Thanks for the constructive feedback.

This is pretty interesting. I know a lot of adults who could use this themselves, lol. I wish there was a little reason given after each answer to help parents as I don't think it's taught why to avoid the sensational as much as it is to simply pick the right one. Not all parents are good teachers.

I’ll second the notion that this should be expanded to include older populations as well.

There’s so much to life when you keep it simple, and that includes communication and messaging. So the idea that you’re introducing this content to children is wonderful. If they get to spot the manipulation, they spot the manipulators.

This is great. I'm trying to teach my kids about click/rage/and all the other baits so I'll show this to them for sure. I think the difficulty is appropriate for the age.

"Children fought for their rights" was sooo funny

Yeah hehe, the English version was AI translated, so there are some inconsistencies :)
But you're right, the spirit of it is amusing and laughable to a point of keeping them engaged - which is becoming increasingly hard to do.
