Hands Off Fire Fire Safety Writing Prompt Craft

11 pages.

Reinforce fire safety practices with this easy craftivity, where students promise to never play with fire. The flames are a child's hand prints. (Look closely and you'll see that they've been crinkled to look more like flames.) Older students attach their "bonfire" to a writing prompt paper, (2 choices) color and complete the prompt. I've included a "We Promise" pledge poster for everyone to sign. This craftivity has been up-dated and is a special FREEBIE in my TpT shop.

The handprint stop sign was a parent favorite.

We accomplished all of these "craftivities" in a week's time. I set a new one up each day as a center.

Many of the "craftivities" reflect this important rule. My personal favorite is the flip-up matchbook. I was also pretty happy with the way the Kleenex box - "House on fire" turned out too. We did this as a shape review with our 2nd-grade reading buddies.

Since my Y5-er's were forever mixing up 6's and 9's, I wanted to make sure that they "got it!" Quite a few fire safety activities that I've posted, revolve around practicing 911.

After one of my more inquisitive kiddo's, dialed it for real, at home "to see if it worked" I made sure to explain in even more detail, that this was for emergency purposes only, and then we'd discuss what an emergency was. Five years later, one of my kiddo's saved the day when he called 911 when his family's trailer caught fire from an electrical problem.

They are a wonderful way to help increase listening and following direction skills, as well as cutting and other fine motor skills too. To me, there is nothing better than hands-on, when it comes to working with little ones.

My Y5's personal favorite was the Dalmatian puppy sock puppet, as well as making and wearing their paper fire hat.

My little ones got a kick out of writing their puppy's name on their adoption certificate, which is included in the packet. When everyone completed their Dalmatian, we'd sit in a circle on the carpet. Wearing their puppy puppet, children would take a turn having their dog bark and say its name + a fire safety rule.

We'd do the Puppy Pokey, and they'd place their puppy in the position of whatever spatial direction I called out. "Put your puppy UNDER your arm, OVER your head, BETWEEN your legs etc." It was a fun way to get the wiggles out and review spatial direction words at the same time.
