Fire Prevention Week just passed, but it’s never the wrong time for fire safety. I was asked to visit a preschool class of 3-year-olds for Fire Prevention Week. These nonfiction titles and activities are suitable for younger preschoolers. The books have simple sentences with easily decoded pictures. You won’t need three, but it’s nice to have a choice.
- Firefighters to the Rescue by Alana Olsen, PowerKids Press, 2017
- The Fire Station by Aaron Carr, Weigl Publishers, 2014
- A Fire Station Field Trip by Isabel Martin, Capstone, 2015
For songs and activities, we played a “Hot or Not Hot” sorting game, sang “Hurry, Hurry, Drive the Fire Truck,” and built a felt board fire engine with the song “The Wheels on the Truck.”
You can find the details on these activities, as well as some fiction choices on my blog, Shelf-employed.
