9:55-10:15 Lesson Fire Safety

Watch“Elmo Visits the Firehouse” DVD (chapters 2-6, <>

Stop, Drop, Roll Get Your children to pretend they are on fire and practice stopping, dropping, and rolling

Catch the Fire Game
You need enough blankets or towels for half your class and a large area to run in. First, have the girls go to one end of the area and the boys to the opposite of the girls. Place the blankets or towels in the middle. Explain to the children that some people don't know what to do if they catch on fire, so you can help them. Have one group (girls or the boys) pretend they are on fire and run around the area yelling "I'm on fire". The other group grabs a blanket or towel and "hugs" a child "on fire". After everyone's fire is out, switch groups. If the boys were on fire, let the girls catch fire. Great way to teach fire safety!

11:10-11:25 Make Clocks
Ask each parent to write down the times of day their children do specific activities (wake up, eat breakfast, go to preschool, take a nap, eat lunch, eat dinner, go to bed, etc.) Have each child put together a clock (have everything pre-cut and the face of the clock numbered. I used foam cutouts). Then practice turning the hands of the clock to the times of the above activities.
