You will need:

x1 glue stick
x1 pair of scissors
x1 pencil
x1 black felt marker
x1 red felt marker
x1 adult (to help you)

1. First, cut out the page with the Family Escape Plan grid.

2. Next, cut off this page with the room symbols on it.

3. Then, cut out each room symbol along the dotted line.

4. Draw out a plan view of your house on the Family Escape Plan grid in pencil with names written on each room eg. Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom.

5. When you have drawn the house plan correctly, go over the pencil lines with the black marker.

6. Using your glue stick, stick down the room symbols onto the escape plan grid.

7. Next, using your red felt marker draw a dash line showing your plan of escape from every room in a fire emergency. (Make sure there are two ways out of every room if possible.)

8. Make sure there is a safe outside meeting place, such as a letterbox or a special tree.

9. Once you have created your Family Escape Plan remove and place it the fridge or a notice board so all your family can learn the escape plan.
