Fire Safety- learn through Play

As a science activity- we used glass jars to teach children about fire and how it needs oxygen.  Here we illustrate how fire burns without the lid and how it blows out once the lid covers the jar.

---

Here the kids watch closely as the fire goes out once the lid is placed.

---

The kids learn about things that are safe and things that are not safe. Here they sort them in the appropriate boxes.  Examples of not safe were photos of the stove, fire etc..

---

As a movement activity, we teach the kids about Stop, Drop and Roll when in a fire.  I used the orange streamer to create the fire.

---

My munchkin doing a good job at rolling :)

---

To teach about crawling low, I created this obstacle course where the kids had to crawl under various furniture items.

---

Once they got to the end of the crawl low obstacle course, they had to jump off the ottoman onto the couch cushions.  As you can see, this was a huge hit ;)
