What are some good ways to teach kids fire safety?

Good ways to teach kids fire safety include a musical game that teaches the stop, drop and roll technique with children crawling, walking or dancing around the room until the music stops. Children then cover their faces, stop, drop and roll on the floor as they would during a fire.

Crafts that represent elements of fire are also helpful in teaching children about fire safety. Children can create fabric flames and attach the flames to poster board items that can cause a fire. Children can also draw or color items that illustrate fire hazards such as stove burners, fireplaces and matches.
