Firefighter Sims

There are some great interactive site for kids related to firefighters. Here is a list of a few of my favorites. Scholastic Firefighter Community Club http://teacher.scholastic.com/commclub/firefighter/ You can input up to 25 names and print Junior Firefighter badges for students.  There is also an interactive learning quiz and a teacher's guide. Smokey Bear http://www.smokeybear.com Smokey Bear has his own website. Kids can play action-packed campfire games such as Put Out the Fire and Smokey's Trail Blaze. They will also learn tips for fire prevention and campfire fun. Sparky's Homepage http://www.nfpa.org/sparky/ Kids can tour Sparky the Firedog's website, which is packed with safety-related tips, crafts, and games all especially for kids. Kids will love to hear a real fire bell in the truck photo gallery. There are also instructions on how to make an origami Sparky puppet.Help Sparky get from classroom to playground in a mock fire drill. U.S. Fire Admin...

Fire Prevention Week will be here soon.  Lowes Build and Grow Clinics allow you to work on a project with the kids.  Bring the kids into any Lowe's store and build a FREE wooden project. Each participant also receives a free apron, goggles, a project themed patch and a merit certification upon completion of their project. This Saturday, Sept. 26 the project is a fire engine.  It looks really neat.  For more information  and to sign up for this project, go to www.lowescreativeideas.com .
