Today, we’re going to have fun pretending to be brave firefighters! Are you ready? Let’s go!
First, imagine we’re at the fire station. We need to slide down the pole to get ready. Can you pretend to slide down the pole? Whee!
Oh no, we hear the alarm! It’s time to drive the fire truck. Let’s hurry and drive the fire truck. Vroom, vroom! Can you make the sound of the fire truck?
Now, we need to turn the corner. Quickly, quickly, let’s turn the corner! We have to get to the fire fast!
We’ve arrived at the fire. The fire is really high, so we need to climb the ladder. Can you pretend to climb up, up, up the ladder?
It’s time to put out the fire! Let’s squirt the water. Whoosh! Can you pretend to spray water on the fire?
Great job! Now, let’s go slowly back to the fire station. Slowly, slowly, we drive back. Yay, we did it!
Firefighters are heroes who help keep us safe. They use special trucks and tools to put out fires. They also help people in emergencies. Isn’t that amazing?
Remember, if you ever see a fire, you should tell a grown-up and call for help. Firefighters will come to the rescue!
Firefighter Tools Exploration: Gather some everyday items that can represent firefighter tools, like a garden hose for a fire hose, a small ladder, or a toy truck. Ask the children to identify each item and explain how it might be used by a firefighter. Encourage them to think about other tools firefighters might use and why they are important.
Fire Safety Role Play: Set up a simple role-playing activity where children can practice what to do in case of a fire. Use a toy phone to practice calling for help, and discuss the importance of knowing emergency numbers. Encourage them to act out finding a safe way out of a pretend building and meeting at a designated safe spot.
Fire Station Field Trip: If possible, organize a visit to a local fire station. Before the trip, ask the children to think of questions they might want to ask the firefighters, such as “What is your favorite part of being a firefighter?” or “How do you stay safe when fighting fires?” After the visit, have a discussion about what they learned and what surprised them the most.
