Fire Safety Write the Room

This activity includes 10 different write the room flashcards with recording sheets for students to fill in. All images and vocabulary are linked to the theme of Fire Safety. There is a recording sheet and answer key included for students to take part in this activity, they can then either self mark their answers - or you can with ease with the answer key provided. All flashcards are ready numbered. An answer key is provided on the bottom page of the recording sheet PDF file. Instructions are also included on first pages of each PDF document. This download includes two PDF documents - one for the flashcards and one for the recording sheets. I would highly recommend laminating each of the individual flashcards so that they will be stronger, therefore longer lasting. You can hide these flashcards anywhere you want to get the students active and moving about. Some example are: ♦ Around the classroom ♦ Outdoor play area ♦ In a tough tray ♦ In a sensory tub etc. This is a great way to keep students motivated and engaged while practising their vocabulary and spelling skills.
