Our school recently won a fire safety contest in our district put on by Mobile Fire-Rescue and Firehouse Subs. We had the most parents sign and return a form stating they tested their smoke detectors at home. Each student received a free kids meal from Firehouse Subs and our school was presented with a plaque! On that note, Sparky.org is a wonderful site with lots of useful information regarding fire safety for children. There are coloring pages, a section all about fire trucks, and of course, a variety of interactive games! Below is a match game. Not only is it a match game, but during the game, the fire alarms sounds and you have to click on the door to get outside the house in order to earn a printable badge. Please check out this useful site!
Amber,
I love this website, and use it with my SMARTboard during Fire Prevention Week. One of the student’s favorite activities is where you draw Sparky. There is a simple direction sheet that I print and then post it by the SMARTboard. The students take turns drawing Sparky on the SMARTboard and then add a Fire Prevention tip to their picture before printing.
