Safety Cards

Worksheet Description

This Kitchen Safety Cards worksheet is an interactive and educational tool designed to teach students about the safe use of common kitchen appliances. The worksheet includes illustrations of four different kitchen items: a blender, a coffee maker, a spilled liquid, and a toaster. Students are instructed to cut out each card along the solid lines, fold them at the dotted lines to create a front and back, and then write an appropriate safety rule on the back to correspond with the image on the front.

The first image is a blender, which could prompt a safety rule about securing the lid before operation to avoid splatters. The coffee maker might be paired with a rule about handling hot liquids with care. The illustration of a spill suggests a rule about cleaning up spills immediately to prevent slips. Lastly, the toaster could have a rule about not inserting metal objects to avoid electric shocks. This activity not only helps students associate specific safety precautions with the appliances they use but also reinforces the habit of thinking about safety proactively. Creating these cards can also be a fun and practical craft that results in a set of personalized safety reminders for students to keep or display.
