Familiarize your students with the individuals they should turn to in the case of fire emergency by engaging them in the coloring of firefighter pictures. Gather coloring page images of firefighters, and create copies of these images for your preschoolers. Allow your students to color these pictures using their knowledge of firefighters. If your students are unfamiliar with firefighter gear or other specifics about firefighters, show them some images of firefighters to help them. Pack up the colored pictures and mail them to your local firehouse, along with a note thanking the firefighters for all they do.
Make fire prevention central to your story time during this month by selecting picture books with a fire-fighting theme to read to yours students. Try books like "Arthur's Fire Drill" by Marc Brown, "Big Frank's Fire Truck" by Leslie McGuire or "Fire! Fire!" by Gail Gibbons. Read one of these tales to your students each day, discussing what they have learned about fire safety at the conclusion of each.
Allow your students to use their artistic skills by creating construction paper fire engines. To prepare for this activity, cut rectangles out of red construction paper, circles to serve as wheels out of black paper and smaller rectangles to act as ladders out of white paper. Provide each pupil with these shapes along with metal brads, and help them join them together to make paper fire engines with movable parts.
Encourage your preschoolers to talk to their parents about fire prevention by assigning them to complete a "We Prevent Fires" family interview. To prepare for this activity, type up a list of questions related to fire prevention such as "Are there smoke detectors in your house?" or "What should the family do in case of a fire?" Also write a note to your students' parents, asking them to read through the questions with their preschoolers and discuss the answers, writing them on the page for their tots. Send these interviews home with your students, giving them several days to get them done. After students return the interviews, ask each pupil to stand up and tell the class what he learned through his discussion with his family.
