One day, Timmy felt the ground shaking. “Mom, what’s happening?” he asked. “It’s an earthquake!” she replied. During an earthquake, it’s important to stay calm and find a safe place to hide. You can crouch down and hold on tight with your hands. Remember to stay away from windows and shelves to be safe!
Timmy and his mom needed to go up to the sixth floor. “I don’t want to walk up the stairs,” said Timmy. “Don’t worry,” said Mom, “we can take the escalator!” An escalator is like stairs that move by themselves. When you ride it, hold your mom’s hand, stand in a line, and don’t run or jump. Be careful and have fun!
Timmy and his friends got stuck in the mud. They called the Monster Car Rescue Team for help. The team had a big monster fire truck and a strong monster tow truck. They came quickly to help Timmy and his friends. “We’re the greatest!” they cheered as they rescued everyone.
Timmy wanted to ride a bike. “Put on your helmet and protective gear,” said Mom. Timmy learned to walk his bike on the sidewalk and at the crosswalk. “Let’s ride slowly and have fun together!” he said. Remember to wear your helmet and stay safe while riding!
Timmy’s friend Kiki got hurt in the forest. They called the Train Rescue Team for help. The team arrived with a high-speed train to take Kiki to the hospital. “Don’t be afraid, we’re here to help!” they said. The Train Rescue Team is brave and powerful!
Timmy and his friends loved playing tag at the playground. “Watch out for strangers and stay safe,” their teacher reminded them. If a stranger talks to you, don’t be afraid to shout for help. Always tell your teacher if you see someone you don’t know.
When there’s a fire, Timmy learned to stay calm and call the firefighters. “Never hide in a closet or use the elevator,” said the firefighter. “Find a safe exit to get out.” Timmy and his friends did a great job staying safe!
Timmy loved swinging high in the playground. “Sit straight and hold on tight with both hands,” his dad reminded him. While swinging, Timmy saw a baby bird in a nest. “Wow, it’s singing!” he said. Playing on the swing is so much fun!
Earthquake Safety Drill: Practice an earthquake safety drill at home or in the classroom. Pretend the ground is shaking and find a safe place to crouch down and hold on tight. Discuss why it’s important to stay away from windows and shelves. After the drill, ask the children, “What did you do to stay safe during the pretend earthquake?”
Escalator Adventure: Create a simple escalator model using cardboard and toy figures. Let the children move the figures up and down the “escalator” while discussing how to stay safe, like holding hands and not running. Ask them, “Why is it important to stand in a line and hold hands on an escalator?”
Rescue Team Role Play: Set up a small obstacle course or use toy vehicles to simulate a rescue mission. Encourage the children to act as the Monster Car Rescue Team or Train Rescue Team, helping their friends or toys in need. After the activity, discuss, “How did you help your friends during the rescue mission?”
