? Candidate 3
Know Your Heat Sources
Kitchen Danger
Stoves, ovens, and toasters get very hot. Keep towels and papers far away!
Warm Spaces
Space heaters need "breathing room." Keep them 3 feet away from beds and curtains.
Power Overload
Too many plugs in one outlet can cause wires to get hot and start a fire.
The 3-Foot Rule
"Anything that can catch fire should be at least 3 FEET away from anything that gets hot!"

Lesson 1: Heat and Hazard Hunt
Learning Objectives
Identify common household heat sources.
Define the "3-Foot Rule" for fire safety.
Recognize potential fire hazards in a home setting.
Communicate simple safety improvements.
Discussion Prompts
Opening: "What are some things in your house that get hot? Are they dangerous if we use them correctly? (No, but they need respect!)"
During Slides: "Why do you think the 3-foot rule is important? Can a fire start even if something isn't touching the heater?"
Closing: "If you see a hazard at home today, what should you do? (Tell a grown-up, don't try to fix it yourself if it involves heat or electricity.)"
Answer Key: Hazard Hunt
1
Kitchen Towel on Stove
Flammable fabric too close to a heat source.
2
Overloaded Outlet
Too many plugs can cause wires to overheat.
3
Candle near Curtain
Open flame near drafty curtains is extremely dangerous.
4
Matches on Floor
Matches should be kept high up and away from children.
5
Heater near Laundry
Space heaters need 3 feet of clear space around them.
6
Paper Bag on Toaster
Items placed on top of appliances can ignite when used.
Common Misconception
Students often think fire safety is only about "Stop, Drop, and Roll." Remind them that prevention (stopping the fire before it starts) is actually more important than knowing what to do once it starts!
Adult Tools Slides Level 2: Matches & Lighters
TOOLS
NOT TOYS
Fire is a powerful tool, but it's not a game. Learn the rules for safety tools.
"Don't Touch - Tell an Adult!"
Inspector Sorting Challenge
Things for Play
🧸 🎨 🧩 ⚽
Safe for kids to touch and explore!
Tools for Adults
📦Matches 🔥Lighter 🕯️ 🍳
Only for grown-ups to use safely!
Why are matches tools?
Grown-ups use matches and lighters for important jobs like:
Lighting a stove to cook dinner
Lighting a campfire for warmth
Lighting a candle for light
🛠️
Tools help us work. Toys help us play. Fire tools are NEVER toys!
If you find matches or lighters:
🛑
1. STOP
Don't pick them up. Don't touch them.
🚶♂️
2. LEAVE
Walk away from the area immediately.
🗣️
3. TELL
Tell a grown-up right away exactly where they are.
Inspector Role Play
We're going to practice our "Tell an Adult" script. Let's make sure every Safety Inspector knows what to say!
"I found matches on the floor in the hallway. Please come put them in a safe place!"

Communication Skill-Building

You find matches on the sink.
Write Your Script
Fill in the blanks to complete your safety message to an adult.
"Excuse me, I found some in the . I did NOT touch them. Please come put them in a safe place away from kids!"
Inspector Reflection
Why is it important to NOT touch matches, even just to move them?
Who are two trusted adults you could tell if you found matches?

SAFETY SIGN
SECRETS
Sometimes signs use pictures instead of words so everyone in the world can understand how to stay safe.
Color Coding for Safety
What is this sign telling us?

✅ People who speak different languages can understand.
✅ They are fast to see when you are in a hurry!
