NEW FOR SEPT 2026: INTRODUCTORY DISCOUNTED PRICE!

Series 3 in The Nurture Toolkit series — six lessons using realistic group chat mockups to teach digital literacy your pupils will actually recognise.

Group Chat Chaos is Module 3 of The Nurture Toolkit, built for KS3 nurture groups and inclusion units navigating the genuinely messy reality of group chats, screenshots and online friendship drama. Six lessons, each built around a real, recognisable scenario — a joke that tips into bullying, being quietly removed from a chat with no explanation, sharing something private without asking, a pile-on nobody planned, a rumour nobody’s checked — not abstract ‘online safety’ platitudes.

Five lessons use a genuinely fresh format: ‘Fix the Feed’, a realistic mockup of a group chat, built as real readable text — never a stock image or a generic cartoon phone. Pupils see an actual chat exchange, then rewrite the unkind message themselves in the Reflection Journal’s signature ‘Screenshot This’ activity, practising the skill directly rather than just discussing it in the abstract.

Every lesson comes as the same complete 3-part kit as Modules 1 and 2: the chat mockup slide, double-sided tiered Scenario Cards, and a highly scaffolded Reflection Journal — 1-10 scales, Red Flag/Green Flag, and the rewrite activity, never a blank page demanding paragraphs.

Kai and Zara — the same two recurring characters from Modules 1 and 2 — open and close the module, so pupils are learning from familiar faces even as the format shifts.

Grounded in current UK data: KS3 pupils are the most-bullied age group in English secondaries, and WhatsApp/TikTok are the most-cited platforms for it (Ofcom, DfE National Behaviour Survey) — genuinely defensible provision for a SENCO report or Ofsted conversation.
