One of the most important lessons that preschool children should be taught is prevention and fire safety. In schools, the fire alarm system is an essential part of fire protection. Children should be taught to recognize their importance in discussions and most importantly, the fire drill exercises.
There are different ways to teach preschool children about fire and fire safety. A good way to begin using picture books. Children may be asked to share what they know about what a firefighter does. Another great idea is to invite a real firefighter who visit the school to talk about their work. Excited to have a visitor in your class and children will be interested to finally learn about fire safety a real firefighter. He or she can also bring
the uniform of fire fighting and other related equipment for show and tell. The applications of each article of clothing such as boots, jacket and gloves, and equipment such as an extinguisher or a fire ax can be fascinating material that comes from a real fire fighter. This is also a good way to show a sample of a fire alarm and the sound it makes. Some fire alarms offer several volume settings, so there is no need to worry that the alarm might be too loud or deafening children when he was selected in a classroom. A game about who can form lines can play first when the bell rang to further strengthen the connection between the sound of fire alarm and fire safety procedures.
Young children may not realize immediately the gravity of the situation by simply telling them. Some may have difficulty distinguishing between the sound of a fire alarm bell and the school generally used to mean the end or the beginning of classes. This is the value of the drills and regular activities of fire that can familiarize with the sound. Such knowledge will stay with them even when they are school, for example, other public buildings where an alarm goes off the fire.
A fire drill exercise will also verify that the fire alarm can be heard in all areas of the school, regardless if a person is in an enclosed area, in the bathroom or in a classroom for complete active children, noisy. It ensures that prepare people and the team just in case a fire broke out and that allows school officials to identify the preparation of its security procedures designed and improved.
There are several tools and devices that can be used for fire prevention and fire fighting. However, the best tool we can give young children's knowledge about fire and can cause damage. Next to that, in schools, it is important to teach children about recognizing the sound of a fire alarm when activated, and what he must do to avoid panic and leave their classrooms or school grounds in an efficient and orderly.
