Fire Ladder Jump with Numbers: We taped the numbers 1-10 between the rungs of a large wooden ladder. The children then took turns counting and jumping through the rungs of the ladder. We held hands on either side of the jumping child and gave a boost as necessary so that everyone would be successful regardless of jumping ability.
During Fire Safety Week I transform my Housekeeping Area into a fire scene and have the children be the firefighters. I used red, orange, yellow & black tissue paper (attached with tape) and stuck to various objects on the area. I also hung from the ceiling (using crepe paper and tape). The fire hoses are made from pool noodles wrapped in duck tape with blue tissue paper coming out the end (you can see the 2 on the table). Add fire hats (firehouse subs) & fire vests (dollar tree). :)
Dispatcher . One student would run out of the burning hose and go to the pretend neighbors house and call 911. The dispatcher would answer 911 what's your emergency , my house is on fire, get out and stay out, what's your name, the dispatcher would ring the bell to sound the fire department. The firefighters would put on their gear and sit in chairs near the truck. Then take their hoses and shoot out the fire.
