Fire Safety

Song: Do as I'm Doing
Prayer: Dylan
Scripture: Arthur
Exodus 19:18

Lesson: I borrowed many ideas from Sugardoodle's lesson on Fire Safety

What is Fire?
Can Fire be good? Cooking, keeping us warm
Can Fire be dangerous? Can burn us, our home, mountains and forests
What do we have in our house that can warn us about fires? Smoke Alarm
Show pictures of firefighters in full gear. Sometimes they can be scary to kids. Teach the kids that they should not be afraid of firefighters.
What should we do in case of a fire in the house?

  • Get out of house as quickly as possible (don't stop for toys or anything)
  • Stay low on the ground
  • In bedroom - open window and jump out of window. If you can't get around the house to the front yard, go to the bottom of the yard near the fence. If you can get around the house, go to Carlos house
  • Upstairs, if safe, go outside and walk to Carlos house. If you can't make it out the front of the house, open a window, put a towel outside the window and wait for help. Do not jump out the window.
  • We will all meet at Carlos' house or at the bottom of our backyard.
  • If you catch fire, stop drop and roll
How can we prevent fires? Never play with candles, matches or lighters. Stay away from the stove
Activities: Practice escape route, practice Stop Drop and Roll

Song: Families Can Be Together Forever
Prayer: Tyler

Service

Song: Love One Another
Prayer: Tyler
Scripture: Arthur

Lesson: Service
Do you know what it means to serve someone? It means to help someone.

Read: A Prophet's Love (Friend Magazine, October, 2009)

How did the Prophet Serve?
Was it easy for him to serve?
What challenges made service hard for him?
Who was blessed by his service?

Activity: Cut up strips of paper. On each paper strip, list one idea of how we can serve each other. Make one strip for each step. Have the children put the paper strips on the stairs. When finished, walk up the steps reading the examples of service.

Song: The Helping Song
Prayer: Dylan
