Sing: Never Play With Matches - sung to "Frere Jacques"

Never, never play with matches.

If you do, if you do,

You might burn your fingers,

You might burn your fingers,

That won't do! That won't do!

Never, never play with matches.

If you do, if you do,

You might burn your clothes,

You might burn your clothes,

That won't do! That won't do!

Repeat, substituting lighters for matches.

~Leora Grecian

·         Show kids the smoke alarm and ask them what it sounds like.

o   Ask them what it means when the alarm goes off? Fire!

o   What do we do? Get down and get out fast. Look at picture.

o   Talk about feeling the door if it is hot or cold. Using door if cold, not using door if hot. Also talking about if clothes catch on fire stop, drop, and roll.
