Kick-off Fire Prevention Week with a Fire Safety Word Find

Are you excited for Fire Safety Week? Kick off the festivities with a fun Word Search! It’s a fantastic way to familiarize your students with fire safety vocabulary and get them ready for learning about fire prevention. 

Encourage them to search high and low for the words in each puzzle, as they learn about National Fire Prevention week. This word search activity is designed for our upper elementary students and includes sixteen fire safety-related terms to search for in the 14 x 14 letter grid. Words are hidden vertically, horizontally, diagonally, and in reverse order for an extra challenge!

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy! 

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

In addition to independent student work time, use this worksheet as an activity for:

• Lesson warm-up
• Lesson wrap-up
• Fast finishers 

🚀Engage your fast finishers by providing them with a blank grid to create their own fire safety prevention worksheet.

🆘Differentiate for your struggling readers and writers by providing them with the nearly identical primary version of the Fire Safety word search. It provides a shorter word list and does not include words hidden on the diagonal or in reverse order.
