Memory Pairing Activity

The fire and rescue service encourages children to know that playing with matches and lighters can be dangerous. This lesson plan provides an opportunity to learn about keeping safe at home. This memory pairing activity enables the pupil to learn and discuss what are safe and dangerous items in the home.  It also provides an opportunity to discuss the differences between hot and cold.

Use this lesson plan along with the hazard cards linked ('Resource 1' below) to deliver a PSHE lesson to Early Years and Lower KS1. The lesson encourages the children to think carefully about the pictures and use reasoning skills to explain their similarities and differences and think about which objects are safe and which are not.
