This Life Skills resource bundle for Cornwall home educators is designed to help children aged 7 - 11 develop the knowledge and confidence to stay safe and respond in emergencies. Through a mix of fun activities, interactive games, and engaging videos, children will explore important safety topics in an accessible and age-appropriate way. The resources encourage curiosity, build confidence, and support children in understanding how to make safe choices at home, outdoors, and in their community.
How To Use
This flexible bundle is ideal for home education and can be adapted to suit individual learning styles and routines. Parents and carers can:
- Use the activities as part of a weekly learning plan or dip into topics as needed
- Encourage children to watch videos first, followed by games or hands-on activities to reinforce learning
- Facilitate discussions about real-life scenarios to help children apply what they have learned
- Work at the child’s pace, revisiting topics to build confidence and understanding
- Incorporate practical demonstrations where possible (e.g. practising what to do in an emergency)
The resources are designed to be enjoyable, practical, and empowering - helping children feel prepared, capable, and safe in everyday situations.
