Health Education Quiz - Emergencies and Safety - Age 5-7 (Questions)

Health and safety is one of the topics covered in PSHE. In this quiz written for KS1 age children in years 1 and 2, we look specifically at emergencies and what action to take if ever confronted by one.

To stay safe we all need to look after ourselves and follow the rules which protect us from accidents or from getting lost. It's nice to help others in trouble too, so if we face an emergency we know exactly what to do.

In this quiz we'll find out whether or not you know what to do in an emergency. Do you know where to get help if someone is in trouble, or what you should do if you feel unwell? I hope so, but if you don't yet then don't worry. This quiz will tell you exactly what you should do to keep yourself and others safe.
