Prompts

I'm a parent doing a hands-on science activity with my child, who is [AGE] years old. They just asked: "[QUESTION]".

Please don't tell us the answer yet. Instead, design a short experiment (about 20 minutes) that we can do together at the kitchen table, so my child can discover the answer by watching what happens.

Rules:
- Only food and ordinary kitchen items (like water, salt, sugar, oil, vinegar, lemon juice, milk, eggs, fruit, cups, spoons, a flashlight).
- No stove, oven, microwave, kettle, or hot water.
- No cleaning products, medicines, or anything that isn't meant to be food.
- An adult is there the whole time and does any cutting.

Please give us:
1. A materials list.
2. Numbered steps in short, simple sentences my child can follow.
3. One prediction question to ask BEFORE we start.
4. A "normal" comparison cup or plate, so it's a fair test.
5. What we'll probably see.
6. A kid-friendly explanation in 3 sentences or fewer, for AFTER the experiment.
7. One new question to explore next.

If there's no safe kitchen experiment for this question, say so plainly and suggest something we could observe in everyday life instead. Don't invent an experiment that won't really work.

We tried your experiment. Here's what happened: [WHAT YOU SAW]. That isn't what you said we'd see. Please check your steps and amounts, tell us what might explain the difference, and suggest one change we can test next.

Rewrite these steps for a [4]-year-old who can't read yet: one very short sentence per step that I can read aloud, and a prediction question they can answer by pointing (for example, "sink or float?").

Turn this into a fair test for a [12]-year-old: what is the one thing we change, what do we keep the same, what do we measure, and how many times should we repeat it? Give me a blank results table we can copy onto paper.

I'm a parent making a short bedtime story to read aloud to my child, who is [AGE] years old. Please write it from the "I" of a child that age. Use only the moments in my notes. Do not add a real name, a school, a town, or a real place name. If a note names a real place, swap it for a made-up one like [MADE-UP PLACE].

Notes from the week:
[MOMENT 1]
[MOMENT 2]
[MOMENT 3]

Please give me:
1. A story I can read in about five minutes, with a calm ending.
2. A one-sentence picture brief for each scene, describing the place and the action, with no people who could be recognized and no text in the picture.
3. A title we can change.

If a note is too private or too specific to a real child, leave it out and say which one you skipped.

The picture for scene [NUMBER] doesn't match the brief. Please say what to change in one sentence, then give me a new picture brief. Keep it a scene, not a portrait of a real child. No letters or words in the image.

I'm a parent reading aloud to my child, who is [AGE] years old. Please write a calm bedtime story I can read in about three minutes.

The child chose these made-up characters (do not use a real child's name):
[CHARACTERS AND HOW THEY ACT]

The moral I want, shown by what the characters do, not announced in a slogan: [MORAL]

Rules:
- Short sentences.
- Nothing scary, and nobody is lost for long.
- End with the characters safe and sleepy.
- Do not add a school, a town, or a birthday.

After the story, stop. Tomorrow I will ask for a new story with these same characters.

Write a new bedtime story with the same characters and the same personalities as this chat. A new moral: [NEW MORAL]. About three minutes to read aloud. Calm ending. Do not add a real name, school, town, or birthday.

Let's build one calm bedtime story together for a listener who is [AGE] years old. Ask us one question at a time and wait for our answer before you write anything. Start by asking who the made-up characters are. Then ask where they are (a made-up place), what goes wrong in a small way, and how it ends safely. After you have those answers, write the story in short sentences. Do not use a real child's name, school, town, or birthday.

I'm a parent at the keyboard. My child, who is [AGE], designed a browser game on paper and is telling me what they want. Please build a single small game that opens in a browser. You write the code. Do not ask us to paste a real name, school, town, or photo.

Here is the design, in my child's words:
[WHAT THEY SAID]

Please:
1. Restate the game in five short lines so my child can say yes or no before you build.
2. Then make the first playable version.
3. Tell me exactly how to open it.
4. Keep the characters made-up. If a character needs a name, use [MADE-UP NAME].

If a request needs a real child's face, voice, or private fact, refuse that part and build the rest.

We played it. My child says: "[WHAT THEY SAID]". Please change only that. Then tell us how to open the new version. Do not add personal information.

I'm a parent building a single-player browser game as a birthday quest. The player is turning [AGE]. Please make a short game of [NUMBER] tiny levels. Each level is about one interest I'll list. At the end of each level, show one piece of a code. I'll hide the present in the house and write the matching code on paper. You do not need to know what the present is.

Interests (themes only, no real name, no school, no town, no birthday date):
[INTEREST 1]
[INTEREST 2]
[INTEREST 3]

Please:
1. Describe the levels in a few lines and wait for me to say go.
2. Build a browser game that works with a finger or a mouse, including on a tablet browser if you can.
3. Tell me the full code and which level reveals each piece, so I can set the real code myself.
4. Use made-up labels. Do not use a real child's name or a celebrity's exact name.

If you can't make a level about one interest without copying a real song, show, or person, swap that level for a simple puzzle and say so.

Level [NUMBER] is confusing when we play it. Here is what happened: [WHAT HAPPENED]. Please change that level only, keep the same code pieces, and tell me how to open the new version.

I'm a parent helping my child, who is [AGE], finish a rock-paper-scissors game in Scratch. We already trained an image model with three labels: rock, paper, scissors. The model shows up as blocks. Please explain, in short steps, how the blocks should decide a winner: the computer picks its own move, we compare it with the label the model gives our hand photo, and we say who won. Do not ask for a name, a face, or an account password. If you are unsure of a block name in our Scratch, say "check the block drawer" instead of inventing one.

Our rock-paper-scissors model keeps calling a [SHAPE] a [WRONG SHAPE]. The training photos may be too alike. Please give us a checklist of different photos to add for each shape: other angles, other distances, and other hands, with no faces in the frame. Then tell us to train again and test on a hand the model has not already seen.

I'm a parent using Teachable Machine's sound project with my child, who is [AGE]. We want two classes: a clap, and the quiet room. Please give us a short plan: how many short recordings to make for each class, what to keep out of the recording (no names, no talking about school or home), and how we should test it with a new clap the model was not trained on. Do not invent menu names. If a step depends on the current website, say "use the button the page shows for recording."

Help us make a one-sprite pet in Scratch that jumps when a key is pressed. My child is [AGE] and will choose the animal: [ANIMAL]. Give short steps a parent can read aloud. Use the ordinary Scratch blocks for a key press and a small jump. Do not claim the microphone is connected. We will test the clap inside Teachable Machine, and use the key in Scratch, unless you know a current official way to connect them. If you don't, say so.

I'm a parent doing the micro:bit CreateAI "Simple AI exercise timer" with my child, who is [AGE]. The project already has two actions: exercising and not exercising. Please suggest three exercising moves that are safe in our living room (no equipment) and three ways to stand still for the "not exercising" samples, including different directions the board might face. Do not change the project into a different timer. No names or locations.

I'm a parent training a Teachable Machine image model to tell LEGO bricks from LEGO minifigures, then pointing a single motor at the result, as in the Pybricks classification lesson. My child is [AGE]. Please give us a photo checklist: two classes only, several photos of each, different backgrounds, some photos with a hand in frame and some without, taken with the same phone we will use later. Tell us to keep faces out of the photos. Do not add a third class. Do not invent a price or a part number.

I'm a parent. My child, who is [AGE], made the drawing in the photo. Please turn that drawing into a creature that still has the same big idea (same number of legs, same silly shape), drawn as a clear character on a plain background. Do not give the creature a real child's name. Do not copy a film or TV character.

Then, in a second image, redraw that creature as a coloring-book page: black outlines on white, thick closed lines, no shading, no gray, and no words in the picture.

If the photo shows a face, a name, or a school, stop and tell me to crop those out first.

Look at the picture you just made. List any odd parts (extra limbs, mixed-up textures, letters that aren't letters). Then offer one simpler coloring page that fixes the oddest part. Keep the child's idea. No names.

I'm a parent. Describe what a drawing needs so a tool like Animated Drawings can make a person-shaped figure dance, jump, or walk. My child is [AGE]. The drawing is of: [WHAT THEY DREW]. Say yes or no, and if no, tell us one change to draw on paper (for example a head, two arms, and two legs, with space between the figure and other shapes). Do not ask us to upload a photo of a person. Do not ask for a name.

I'm a parent turning one drawing into a 3D model my child can paint. The child is [AGE]. They drew: [WHAT IT IS]. Please tell us if this is a good candidate: one character, bold marks, not a busy scene. If it is too busy, suggest what to trace onto a fresh page. Then give a one-sentence description we could type only if a tool asks for words. No real name, no face photo, no school, no town.

The 3D preview has an extra [PART] that is not in the drawing. Give us two choices, in plain language: print it as a funny version and talk about the mistake, or make a new image and try again. Do not tell us to buy a particular printer.

Help me draft a short birthday song to sing at home. The listener is a child. Do not use their name, age, birthday, school, town, or any private story. Do not ask for a voice, photo, or video.

Feeling we want: [FEELING, such as playful or gentle]
Made-up image we can sing about: [IMAGE]

Please write:
[Verse]
four short lines
[Chorus]
four short lines we can repeat
[Verse 2]
four short lines
[Chorus]

Use a warm adult singer in the style notes, not a copy of a famous person. Keep a little space in the chorus where we can clap. Tell me to read it aloud before any music tool sees it.

Give me one style line I can paste into Suno for the lyrics I already wrote. Playful, acoustic, adult vocals, easy to sing, room to clap. Do not name a real singer. Remind me that a style line is a wish, not a promise, and that I should listen to the whole song before anyone else hears it.

I'm a parent writing a treasure hunt inside our home for a child who is [AGE]. Write [6] short rhyming clues. Each clue points at the next ordinary place in this list, in order, and the last place holds the treasure. Do not name a child, a school, a town, or a real address. Do not mention a surprise trip or a present by name.

Places, in order:
[PLACE 1]
[PLACE 2]
[PLACE 3]
[PLACE 4]
[PLACE 5]
[PLACE 6]

Also give me a one-line hint for each clue that I can say out loud if someone is stuck. I will print these and hide them. I will write the final note by hand.

Rewrite the hunt as [8] riddles for ages 7–9, same rules: no names, no school, no town, one hint each, last place is the treasure. Places in order:
[LIST OF PLACES]
Keep each riddle solvable by a child who can read, without a cipher.

We are a family. A teenager is here with a parent. We want to practice taking both sides of this question: [TOPIC].

Rules:
- Ask us one question at a time.
- Do not give a conclusion, a winner, or a grade until I type "FAMILY HAS DECIDED".
- Do not use anyone's name, school, town, or a private story.
- This is not emotional support, therapy, or friendship. If we drift into a personal problem, stop and tell us to talk to each other.

Start by asking what the teenager thinks, and why, before you ask about the other side.

We have each said what we think. Please state the strongest version of the side each of us is not on, in three sentences, with no insults. Then ask us one question that would change someone's mind. Still no winner until I type "FAMILY HAS DECIDED". No names or schools.
