Description

Make Fire Safety Real, Practical, and Memorable

Fire safety education shouldn’t end with a worksheet. This Fire Safety Family Scavenger Hunt & Action Relay gives you two powerful tools to teach life-saving skills through authentic practice and physical engagement—whether you’re a classroom teacher looking for meaningful family involvement or a homeschool parent ready to tackle essential life skills.

What’s Included:

📋 6-Mission Family Scavenger Hunt Your students and = families work through real, practical fire safety scenarios at home:

• Mission 1: Kitchen Fire Talk — Learn what to do about grease fires (and what NEVER to do)
• Mission 2: Fire Safety Rules — Establish family agreements about fire interactions
• Mission 3: Smoke Alarm Test — Locate, test, and map every alarm in the home
• Mission 4: Make an Escape Plan — Find two exits from every room and choose a family meeting spot
• Mission 5: Fire Extinguisher Hunt — Locate safety equipment and learn the PASS method
• Mission 6: Burn First Aid Kit — Check supplies and learn proper burn response

Each mission includes discussion questions, action steps, and spaces for families to record their findings. This isn’t theoretical; families actually test their smoke alarms, draw their escape routes, and locate their fire extinguishers.
