The Li'l Larikkins digital stories are designed to educate children in Australian primary schools about the dangers of bushfires and other natural hazards, and the actions they can take to protect themselves from harm. The resources are supported by lesson plans organised in two separate categories:
- Bushfire education
The Li’l Larikkins Bushfire Safety Program was developed to help lower primary, middle primary and upper primary students understand fire and the importance of bushfire preparation and safety both at school and at home.
