What children will practise
The set introduces clear fire safety rules through age-suitable activities. Younger children can identify safe and unsafe choices, match pictures and colour safety scenes. Older children can sort steps, complete simple sentences, follow a home escape plan and practise what to do if clothes catch fire. The worksheets use everyday situations such as seeing smoke, finding matches, touching a hot object and hearing a fire alarm. Children are reminded to tell a trusted adult, leave the area, stay low in smoke and never hide during a fire.
Simple ways to use the worksheets
At home, complete one worksheet after talking through your family escape route and choosing a meeting place outside. Ask your child to point out two exits and practise saying their full address or another useful detail to an adult. In class, use a picture sorting task during a safety lesson, then role-play calling for help without pretending there is a real fire. Pair children so one explains a rule and the other checks the pictures. You can connect this set with Safety Rules Worksheets or Road Safety Worksheets.
Help children remember the right action
Children often think they should collect toys, hide under a bed or use a lift during a fire. Some may run back for a favourite object or try to put out a fire themselves. Calmly repeat that people come first, children should follow a trusted adult, and they must never go back inside. If clothing catches fire, teach the words stop, drop and roll, then explain that an adult should help. Keep the message short and consistent. Do not frighten children with graphic details, and remind them that smoke means they need to leave and get help quickly.
Lumi's tips
- Make it easier by reading each picture clue aloud and asking your child to choose between two clear actions.
- Make it harder by asking your child to put escape steps in order and explain why a meeting place is useful.
- Link it to real life by checking smoke alarms, matches, lighters and hot appliances together, without letting children handle them.
