Know Your Safety Rules Worksheet

Teaching children the simple rules that keep them safe is one of the most important parts of early social studies, and the Know Your Safety Rules Worksheet gives first graders a friendly, hands-on way to practice. Young learners think about real, everyday moments—swimming, emergencies, riding in the car, and meeting strangers—and decide on the safest choice. Building this awareness early helps kids feel calm, confident, and prepared wherever they go.

This printable following directions worksheet begins by asking students to write their full name and phone number, key information every child should know by heart. Next, students read four short safety situations and fill in the bubble next to the best and safest choice. Read the directions aloud for beginning readers, then let children work on their own or with a partner. The included answer key makes it quick to review and talk through each safety rule together.

What’s Included

• 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
• Answer key
• 5 safety activities (write-in name and phone number, plus 4 fill-in-the-bubble situations)

The Know Your Safety Rules Worksheet helps children learn in three important ways. First, it connects safety to familiar, real-life moments, so the lessons feel meaningful and easy to remember. Second, the fill-in-the-bubble format builds early following-directions and test-taking skills while keeping the activity low-pressure and fun. Third, writing their own name and phone number gives children a practical safety tool they can use right away.

Extend the learning beyond the page in simple, playful ways. Role-play each situation at home or in the classroom so children can rehearse what to say and do. Take a “safety walk” to spot helpers like crossing guards, signs, and fire alarms. Make a family safety poster together, or invite a local firefighter or police officer to visit and share tips. Revisiting these safety rules often helps them become second nature.
