Fire Prevention Games for the Classroom

The Fire Safety – I Have, Who Has? Card game is a fun and exciting way for students to review and practice identifying fire-related vocabulary words. Students view images and terms related to firefighters, fire safety, and fire prevention.

To play, students are each given a card. The student with the first card begins to play by reading their card aloud. Play passes to the student who has the card containing the answer. Each card links to another, and the game continues until all cards are read and matched.

Through this activity, students will show their ability to use fire safety-related vocabulary and enhance listening and speaking skills in the classroom.
