This week we celebrated International Firefighters‘ Day. It is as fun as it sounds. 🙂
Teach your kids fire safety basics in a fun way that they’ll remember it.
Here are some ideas of what you can do with them to educate, play and to prevent tragedies and stay safe.
- Read Books on Firefighters and Fire Safety
- Try to bring your kids where they can meet firefighters
- Talk to them about the gears that firefighters wear (we even tried some on this time. It was a huge success as you can see in the photos) and the tools that they use.
- Set up some fun imaginative play, like saving a cat from the top of the tree or playing with firetrucks, or if the weather is warm you can organise some water play in the garden too.
- Educate them about fire safety at home
- Have some arts&craft activity or flashcards with the new words on it
- You also can download many preschool activity sheets from the internet
- Show them a smoke-detector, listen to the alarm so they know the sound and practice the fire-escape plan together
- Make sure that your kids learn how to call firefighters in case of emergency
Your kids must understand that fire is dangerous.
Have a couple of hours of fun with them to prevent a fire in your home. Please tell us other engaging activities too in the comments.
