Fire drill

Age
3-6

Materials

 * Fire bell or whistle.
 * Register.

Preparation
This is a collective presentation.

Presentation
It is essential to practice this activity without the use of a fire bell at first, to establish the routine without frightening the children. The routine is as follows:


 * 1) When the fire bell or fire whistle sounds, the children are asked in a calm manner to form a line without delay.
 * 2) The children are counted before the classroom is evacuated.
 * 3) Lead by one of the Directress, they leave the building by the shortest route; an identified Fire Exit if possible.
 * 4) The class/group Directress takes the Register, checks the premises-cloak rooms and changing rooms and leaves last.
 * 5) Once outside the Register is called immediately.

Purpose
Direct aims: 


 * To practice the sequence of events in case of fire.

Indirect aims: 


 * To make the children aware of the possibility of fire and of the dangers in a calm way.
