Prompt Cards

Copy-friendly prompts for a parent-approved AI assistant, grouped by lesson, plus repair and safety prompts.

Free · Parent-guided

Safety rule: Use ideas, not secrets. Do not enter real names, school names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, passwords, photos, medical details, financial details, account information, exact locations, or private family details into any AI tool.

What prompt cards are

Prompt cards are short, ready-to-copy messages you give a parent-approved AI assistant. They help your child build each project and fix common problems without needing to know how to code.

How to use them safely

✓A parent reviews the prompt before it is used.
✓Your child can choose the idea, but should not type in private details.
✓Use ideas, not secrets — no real names, schools, addresses, or other personal information.

Copy-and-paste workflow

Copy a prompt, paste it into the AI tool, read the reply together, then copy the code the AI gives you and save it as one .html file. Replace anything in [square brackets] with your own idea first.

Check the AI's output

AI assistants can make mistakes or add things you did not ask for. Read the reply before you use it. If it looks too complicated, split into many files, or asks for private information, use a repair or safety prompt below.

Here is my game. Make ONLY this one change: [describe one small change]. Keep everything else the same, and keep it all in one HTML file.

Lesson 6 — Useful Mini Tool

Make it simpler

Please make this much simpler. Keep only one main idea and use fewer features.

Keep it one file

Please put all the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript back into one single HTML file.

Remove extra features

Please remove the extra features. Keep only the basics we agreed on.

No external libraries

Please do not use any external libraries or online assets. Everything should work offline in one HTML file.

Safety prompt

Privacy check

Please check that this project does not include any real names, schools, addresses, or other private information, and remove anything personal. Use made-up, general ideas only.
