(Printable) Family Home Safety Quiz: Questions & Answers

It is summertime. Some kids will be alone at home during the summer. We want it to be a safe home for you and your brothers and sisters.

How does your family rate for safety?

Help your family stay safe by taking the following test designed by the National SAFE KIDS Campaign.

Home Safety Quiz Topics

The quiz is a checklist and template of safety questions and answers for the family including:

  • Seatbelts
  • Helmets
  • Swimming
  • Water Temperature
  • Guns
  • First Aid
  • More

Although this list does not list every danger around the home, it will help your family start on safety.

If your mom and dad don’t live in the same house, do a safety check for each house. You can also do a safety check for your grandparents’ homes and any other homes where you spend a lot of time, like a caregiver.

Start by answering the questions in the safety checklist template below. If you do not know the answer to one of the questions, ask your parents.
