Fire chiefs are hoping that the kids will go home and pass the firework safety message onto their parents to help stop them putting their families at risk on bonfire night.
Cheshire schools are being visited in the run up to bonfire night to explain that while watching fireworks can be fun, they are explosives and need careful handling and storage.
Most children are more likely to know the firework code than the adult who is letting off the fireworks so they can access the firework code for their family and play some firework games in safety via http://www.BERR.gov.uk/fireworks/index.htm
The firework safety campaign has been launched by the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR).
Each year the highest number of firework injuries happen at family or private parties and over half of those injuries are to children. In the North West there were 151 firework related accidents in 2005.
The campaign is aimed at 'have-a-go' dads to be extra-careful with fireworks this year or risk putting their friends and family in danger.
Any adult in charge of the festivities needs to know the Firework Code's safety guidelines to help make their fireworks display a memorable occasion for the right reasons.
The message to those in charge of displays is: "Take more responsibility with fireworks, they are more dangerous than you think and could severely injure children or yourself."
Consumer Minister Gareth Thomas said:
"Millions of families love watching fireworks, but no-one wants to be a victim of the accidents that can and do happen.
"Even if you think you know how to handle fireworks, failing to follow the Firework Code properly puts you and your loved ones in danger.
"Each of us has a responsibility to take the right precautions with fireworks so we can all enjoy them safely this year."
Mark Cashin, Deputy Chief Fire Officer - Community Risk Reduction at Cheshire Fire & Rescue Service said:
"I know that having fireworks at home or visiting a public display can be great fun especially for children and if used correctly and responsibly, people can enjoy themselves without any danger.
"However, it is a fact that most accidents are caused by improper use of fireworks and by carelessness. Therefore I would appeal to everyone that is either having a display at home or attending an organised display to take great care this bonfire night and to follow the firework code."
