Free Fire Safety Worksheets & Free Fire Safety Lesson Plans

There’s lots more homeschooling info on my site! 
Check out my
Homeschooling Main Page.

Homeschoolers have a lot of choices available to them.

Please take the information you find useful from these pages and ignore the rest.

I have gathered some useful links for teaching fire safety, as well as some suggestions for varying it a bit when it gets boring.  Many of these sites have printable worksheets, etc.  Enjoy!

·         At my useful forms page you'll find a simple fire safety worksheet, suitable for elementary school.  Nice for the portfolio.  Discuss aspects of fire safety, then have students fill in the worksheet.  Or use it as a beginning and make your own! (Fire safety worksheet in: .pdf, .doc, .html)

·         Emergency Management Institute Independent Study Program -- This site was recommended by a friend.  There are LOTS of interesting courses for older kids. 

·         Livestock in Disasters – An excellent choice for 4H kids and other animal-lovers!  -- About 15 "short" pages of light reading, followed by a test with 15 true/false questions. Perfect for the portfolio and a little more interesting than "Sparky the Fire Dog"!
