Fire Safety Week
National Fire Safety Week happens every year around October 9th, and these are some fantastic activities you can do with your preschoolers to introduce them to fire safety.
Fire Safety Prewriting Cards
Fire Safety Prewriting Cards
Laminated prewriting cards are a cheap way to incorporate writing skills into your curriculum. Print out the paper, then laminate. The kids can use washable markers to practice their skills, then use a wet paper towel or baby wipe to erase and start over.

Emergency Vehicle Letter Matching
Emergency Vehicle Letter Matching
This activity is a great way to have the kids practice letter recognition for upper and lowercase letters. The uppercase letters are on the emergency vehicles, and the children can find the matching lowercase letter on the siren. Use some velcro dots to attach the lights to the vehicles and challenge your students while making learning fun!

Firefighter Math Linking
Firefighter Math Linking
Incorporating math into your curriculum is important, and this activity brings math and fine motor skills to your students. The children need to count how many links are required to match the firefighter to the burning house. Cut out the cards, laminate them, then put a hole punch where the students need to add the link. Numbers go from 1-10, and the students will enjoy seeing how the chains get longer as the numbers increase.
Fire Safety Sensory Bin
Fire Safety Sensory Bin
We always change out our sensory bin materials depending on the theme, and for fire safety, we love bringing in community helper figures, beans, and orange gems. Add some scoops and bowls, or even fire truck toys for some extra fun.
Fire Safety Themed Easel
Fire Safety Themed Easel
A simple addition to your fire safety week curriculum is adding red, orange, and yellow paint. Give the children a variety of paint brushes throughout the week and let their imaginations run wild.
