You mean locks with a key or just locks with a button?

Most doors that lock with a button can still be opened from the inside with a turn of the knob, or at least with a click and then turn.

If it where a lock-and-key, I'd be more worried, but even then, it could be left in the door inside. Not ideal, I agree....

Maybe a fire safety unit where you practice drills, then encourage the families to do the same as "homework"? Tell them whoever brings it back gets a secret prize?

Maybe create a worksheet:

Our family's safety plan:

We are the __________________ family. We have ________ people in our family, named _____________ ______________ ___________ __________.

If the fire alarms go off, we GET OUT!

Our meeting spot is:_________________

When we practiced, it took us ________________ seconds to get there.

If you have tornadoes or severe storms, you could add:

When a big storm comes, we go to ______________________. When we practiced, it took us _________________ seconds to get there.


You could probably come up with a couple other things for the sheet, and lend them a stop-watch if you have one?

Get a couple annuals, pot them in a cheap clay pot, stick a few lillipops around it (enough for each kid or family member), and give that as the "prize".


What do you think?
