Fire Safety Role Play: Gather your family or friends and practice what to do in case of a fire. Pretend there’s a fire and take turns being the person who calls for help, the firefighter, and the person finding the safe way out. Remember to stay calm and use the tips you’ve learned, like covering your mouth with a wet towel and finding the emergency exit stairs.
Smoke Experiment: With an adult’s help, use a small pot of water and a lid to see how smoke behaves. Boil the water until steam forms, then cover it with the lid. Notice how the steam (like smoke) moves and how the lid (like a door) can stop it. Discuss how using wet clothes can help block smoke from coming into a room.
Fire Safety Drawing: Draw a picture of your home and mark all the exits. Use arrows to show the safest way to get out in case of a fire. Share your drawing with your family and talk about your fire escape plan. Make sure everyone knows where to meet outside if there’s a fire.
