6:00 Coming In Activity

Using red, orange, yellow paper let the BS draw around their hands and cut them out – for use later.

6:05 Opening Ceremony and notices

6:10 Chat about the theme of Home Safety

6:15 Game

Fire ! – Label some cards with the word SAFE, and leave some blank. Turn them face down onto the floor. Divide the BS into 2 teams. The BS run around being fire engines (or the like) and when FIRE is called they must run to safety – stand on a piece of card on the floor. On the word LOOK the BS look at the reverse of the card – if they are on a SAFE card they are still in the game, if not they are out. The first team to have 3 BS out are the losers.

6:20 Craft

Fire Engine or Fireman’s Hat from Something Old, Something New (Page 26 & 27)

Build Camp Fire – using the hands cut out in the coming in game, let the BS stick them onto a large sheet of dark paper to make a Camp Fire picture.

6:40 Game

Fire Circle – All but one BS sit on chairs in a circle facing inwards. They are labelled ENGINE, WATER, HOSE, FIREMAN – don’t forget the one standing in the centre. When their name is called they must change places. The BS in the centre must try to sit down. On the word FIRE they all must change places.
