This study shows that engaging, game-based burn safety education can effectively teach elementary students. Four sessions improved children's understanding of burn prevention strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric injury prevention
  • Health education

Background:

  • Pediatric burns are preventable but require effective educational strategies.
  • Traditional burn safety lectures may not engage young children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if burn safety can be effectively taught to elementary school children in four sessions.
  • To assess the engagement and knowledge retention of children participating in a novel burn safety program.

Main Methods:

  • A curriculum involving age-appropriate activities, experiments, and discussions was implemented over four sessions.
  • Content was sourced from the local fire department and enhanced with videos and interactive exercises.
  • Children participated in engaging, game-like activities to learn burn safety principles.

Main Results:

  • Children demonstrated good comprehension, answering 40 out of 49 questions correctly in a game-based assessment.
  • The educational approach transformed potentially "boring" lectures into challenging and entertaining games.
  • The program received an enthusiastic response from the participating fourth-grade students.

Conclusions:

  • Burn safety education can be effectively delivered to elementary students through interactive, game-based methods.
  • This approach enhances engagement and knowledge acquisition, contributing to burn injury prevention.
  • Community teaching projects for burn prevention are feasible and rewarding for educators.
