Stop, Drop, and Roll

Materials Needed:

No materials are needed for this activity

What to Do:

Talk to the children about fire safety and what to do in case of a fire.
Show the children how to stop, drop, and roll and explain why they should do this in the event their clothing catches on fire.
Ask the children to talk to their parents about drawing out an escape plan in case the house ever caught on fire. They should also decide on a place to meet each other outside the house once they have escaped from the house safely.

* Local fire departments usually have lots of great resources for teachers to use for teaching fire safety.
