Electricity Safety Poster

This Electricity Safety Poster is a printable activity that helps children learn how to stay safe around electricity. Wayne the Worm and Wilfred Walrus feature on the poster, so familiar faces are there to catch children's attention and make the safety messages feel friendly rather than scary.

Electricity powers the lights, toys and gadgets children use every day, which makes it a good moment to talk about why it needs careful handling. The poster links to the idea of clean, affordable energy, and gives young learners a simple first step: understanding that electricity is useful but needs respect.

It works well as a classroom display or as a poster for a kitchen wall or playroom at home. Print it out and look at it together before talking it through. You could ask: Where can you see electricity being used in our home or classroom? Which things should we ask a grown-up to help with?

For a follow-up activity, children could go on a gentle spotting walk around the room and point out things that use electricity, then draw their favourite one. Older children in the 7-11 range can add their own safety rules to the poster. It is a handy resource for anyone searching for electricity safety for kids or an energy worksheet to print.
