Answer:

"Strike matches on rough surface found on the outside of the box. Do not touch flame, the head of the match, and please keep away from children"

Explanation:

The first two sentences feel like common sense, so I would not include them. The middle sentence is descriptive and I would keep it. The last three sentences can be combined to make the sentence less wordy and read easier. Hope that helps somewhat!
