Using the Picnics at school

For teachers, and for whoever checks a site before students use it.

Students don't sign in, there are no ads, and the sites don't ask for or keep anything about a student. There's nothing to install. A browser on a Chromebook, iPad, laptop or classroom board is enough.

Addresses to allow

If your web filter needs an allowlist, these are the addresses the Picnics use. Each site loads its own pages, fonts and sounds from its own address; none load ads or third-party scripts.

All are served over HTTPS by Cloudflare.

Student data

The Picnics are built so that there is no student data to hand over. There are no accounts, so no rosters, no profiles and no learning records. A Picnic may keep small preferences in the browser, such as colors or a list of printed sheets, which never leave the device. Some Picnics count how their pages are used, without cookies, persistent IDs, answers, scores or anything typed. Each site's privacy page lists exactly what it counts.

Because no personal information is requested or collected from students, the Picnics do not need parental consent forms or a data-sharing agreement to be used in class. If your district still requires one to be reviewed or signed, write to hello@thepicnics.org and I will help where I can.

Printing and sharing

You may print and photocopy worksheets for the children you teach, and post links in your class's learning platform, such as Google Classroom, Seesaw or Canvas. Please keep the Picnic name on printed sheets and don't sell the materials. Each site's terms of use say more.

Accessibility

The Picnics aim to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. See the accessibility statement for what that covers and how to report a problem.
