We were learning about Fire Safety last week and I thought we would do an actually fire drill so the kids know exactly what do to incase there was a fire at home. I put the kids in their beds and then we went through each step together. After a few practice runs, they each got in their bed and Mommy went to her bedroom and pressed the fire alarm. They did a great job and it is something I am going to continue on a regular basis so they don't forget. Many years ago I heard a lady talking about teaching her young child a song about 911. I don't know exactly how her's went so we made one up very similar. If you have children, I highly recommend teaching them about dialing 911 at a young age! There are many stories of 3 and 4 year olds who have saved lives because they knew what to do in an emergency. We had a lot of fun doing our fire drill as well, especially doing it blindfolded (since you never know what could happen during the night). Here is our 911 song!
Larkyn watched the video with me and when it was over she said "Kailey, sing it again." :-) That is a great idea for teaching kids what to do in an emergency.
ReplyDeleteThat is a real catchy tune that can be easily be remembered. Great job singing, Kailey!
