I'm looking for some ideas for a fire safety theme.
We'll have a fire drill, do STOP DROP and ROLL, but I need something else.

Also if you have Netflix there are a few videos about fire safety.

We call our local fire dept. They come and do a small educational session for the kids for free. They bring a fire truck and the kids get to get inside and check it out, honk the horn and turn the siren on and off. They get to try on the uniform and hat if they want.
The fireman also brings plastic fireman hats for the kids, badge stickers and lots of coloring and informational pamphlets for them to share with their parents. My kids LOVE October for this reason!
I usually call one or two of the area daycares within walking distance and invite them to join us.

I missed the firestation open house yesterday. My dh told my sil, but no one said anything to me, otherwise the boys would have gone.
I think we'll drive over there tomorrow.

I found a lapbook from homeschoolcreations that I printed off.
We are going to learn about smoke detectors, have a fire drill, stop drop & roll, our phone numbers, practice spelling our first AND last names.
I can't decide whether or not to learn to dial 911. My guys are 3 & 4.

I had this issue too because I don't have a land line. I still taught them last year to always call 911 for any emergency.

I went over to the Dollar Tree today and found quite a few "fireman" items for their sensory bins.

Our local Fire Company comes. The Firefighter will explain each part of his turnout gear to the children and put it on in front of them one piece at a time. This way, should they ever be caught in a house fire they won't be frightened of the Firefighter that's come looking for them.
Most of the children are fine but there's always one or two that is afraid even after he explains everything.
There's also a kid-friendly video that explains not opening doors if they are hot, staying low below the smoke, etc.

That sounds way cool! I think I'll have to steal your idea. Sounds like lots of fun!!

I had all 5 kids here at once so I took advantage of it. I pulled the smoke detector from the playroom down this morning and set it off. We had an impromptu fire drill.
The older kids showed the younger ones how to line up at the curbside mailbox.

I did this about 3 months ago and I had a few that freaked out. BUT I am glad that I did it because I found out that NONE of the kids could unlock my side or front door. While this was great for every day, not so good in an emergency.I had all 5 kids here at once so I took advantage of it.

I acutally run fire drills once a month. Especially ever since the Jessica Tata incident....Scares me to death...

ask your fire department to come and do a demonstration. Our fire department comes every year. I think they enjoy it more than the kids. It also helps their ratings. (The more kids they do demonstrations for, the higher the rating).
