Then spoon on orange, then yellow, creating layers. Lastly, dollop with some blue whip. You now have fire cups!!!

Get the phones the students made at the beginning and have them practice dialing 911 in an emergency. Make sure they know when its ok to use it and when it isn’t

Crawl Low Under The Fire
Put up a sheet high enough so that your children can crawl under it. Next have children pretend to be fire fighters and crawl underneath the fire.  Teach them to stay low when there is a fire, to feel the door and see if it’s hot. Make sure they know what to do when there is a fire and where to go.
