- I created a WhatsApp group and invited all members
- The activities were based on this home safety pack which is downloadable at the bottom of this page.
Description

- Colouring pencils
- Felt tip pens

Instructions
Ask the parents to either print out packs or download them so they can be worked on digitally.
There are 7 activities in this whole pack. We only used activity 1 this week. That was enough to fill an hour.
I posted a series of photo of the activities over the meeting and the youngsters posted pictures of what they were doing. There are a bunch of photos below of their handywork.
Activity 1
Fire safety in your house.
- Ask the cubs to take a picture of their plug sockets
- Discuss the need for tidy wires and for sockets to not be overloaded.
- We discussed different types of fires and asked them to visually show their understanding. Some did this on the computer, some drew it by hand and sent a photo.
- We talked about different fire dangers in the home.
Here are some of their pictures…
