NEW: Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Activity Kits for Kids and Teens

Practical, age-appropriate tools to help families and educators build safe charging habits at home and in the community.

Rechargeable devices are part of everyday life — and so are the lithium-ion batteries that power them. These downloadable activity kits make battery safety easy to understand for children and teens through engaging, real-world learning. Use them at home, in classrooms or at community events to turn prevention into action.

A set of activity sheets for kids titled "Kid's Activity: The 'Power Scout' Adventure." It includes instructions for a scavenger hunt, a colouring activity about rechargeable batteries, and a pledge form for kids to complete as Power Scouts. The sheets feature playful illustrations and designs that help kids learn that some toys and electronics have rechargeable batteries, must be charged in a safe place, and should be plugged in only with adult help.

Power Scout Adventure (Kids)
A fun, mission-based activity that helps children identify the
“hidden power” in their toys and electronics. Teaches simple safety habits like asking a grown-up before plugging in devices and charging on hard, flat surfaces.
