Explorer Quest: Sure or True?

Rocket stands tall. "I will say three facts. One is wrong, but I will sound sure every time!"

Raven grabs the calendar and a ruler. "What do you notice? We can check them all."

Nova blinks happily. "Listen closely," she says. "Then check before you decide."

  1. AI tools that write or make things can be wrong in a very sure way.
  2. People call this a hallucination.
  3. Trusted sources include a calendar, a ruler, your own count and a grown-up.
  4. Use the habits: stop, think, check, ask.
  5. Sounding sure is not the same as being right.

Each player writes three facts that can be checked at home.
Make one of the three facts wrong on purpose.
Read all three in your surest voice.

For a grown-up
Use facts that are easy to check, like dates, lengths or counts.
Ask: how did sounding sure make the wrong fact harder to spot?
Remind your child to bring surprising facts to you to check together.
QUEST CHECK
  • Read the question.
  • Tap your answer.
Rocket says, "This ruler is 12 inches long," very surely. How do you check?
Which habit comes right after Stop?
What do people call a sure but wrong answer from an AI tool?
WHY THIS EXERCISEHallucinations sound sure but are wrong, so we always check.
