Fire Safety Week is such an important week for students to learn important lessons to keep them safe. This is why I created this Fire Safety Lap Book for Primary learners.
Why Fire Safety is Important
Being married to a firefighter myself, I am very aware of how important teaching these lessons is to our students and our own children. When children are aware of their surroundings and they are taught important safety lessons, it gives them confidence to know just what to do in the event of an emergency.
Fire Safety Lap Book
This lap book lesson starts with general safety tips on fire safety and includes a mini poster to help you have a discussion with your students.
Students will use provided images as prompts to write fire safety tips underneath. A meeting place outside is very important so use this section to ensure students understand what a meeting place is and why we have one. (Firefighters will know that everyone made it out safe or that they need to go back in to find someone.) The other side of the lap book (shown here on the right) includes tools firefighters. Students label the tools underneath or write about how they are used. There is a picture of a firetruck that students can color.
Planning an Escape Route
Your students will learn to recognize places in their home. They will then develop a drawing of the inside of their home with 2 possible escape routes.
