Using Li’L Larikkins Animations Effectively in the Classroom

Felicity Hopkinson
Project and Program Development Officer
SA Country Fire Service

Bush fire education in schools spreads safety information through the community and prepares the next generation for the challenges of bush fire. Teachers can be our greatest allies in promoting disaster resilience, but often they do not have the information or resources to support our messages.
Fire agencies across Australia have created a schools bush fire education program using the ‘Li’L Larikkins’ characters. The ‘Li’L Larikkins’ have successfully helped students across Australia learn State Emergency Service messages around storms and floods, and they now tackle bush fires. Ten fun, short animated videos explore different bush fire safety topics, and are supported by session plans and background information teachers can use with primary school classes.
