Today we are going to learn about firefighters. Here are a couple websites that you can look at and gather information to talk with your children about firefighters and fire safety. Fire Safe Kids! This website U.S. Fire Administration is pretty blah but there is some information for preschoolers that’s good.
You can ask the children if they have ever met a firefighter. Where did they meet them, what did they wear, and what do they drive? Show the children pictures of firefighters and fire trucks. Tell the children how firefighters help fight fires and help people in need.

Instead of working on the letter G today we are going to do a counting and activity that goes along with firefighters. Get a 10 ft. hose or a long string to represent a hose. Have different items out to use to measure the hose. For example: straws, blocks, ruler, paper clips, etc. Now have fun seeing how long the hose is in the different units of measurement. You can record their results on a piece of paper if you’d like.

This is a perfect time to talk about the Bible and how to use it. You can show the children your Bible so they have a better understanding of what a book, chapter and verse are. You can say:
“The Bible is one big book made up of many smaller books. Each book has a name. Today we are learning a Bible verse in the book of 1 Samuel . When you find 1 Samuel in the new testament look for the number 3 at the top left or right of the page, this is the chapter. You will see 1 Samuel 3. We are looking for verse 10, and those numbers are much smaller under the big 3.”
After looking at the Bible show them “1 Samuel 3:10” written out on their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet. To see and hear all of the Books that make up the Bible watch this fun, short video, The Books of the Bible, by Readeez!
After they are done coloring they can hang their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet up in a special place. Then when your child walks by the sheet they can work on memorizing the Bible verse.

This Magic Painting art project is fun for children to draw and spray water. You will need to provide each child with a white piece of paper and a white crayon. Using the white crayon each child can draw on their white paper a picture of a fire truck, a hose, a fire or something to do with firefighters. You can watch the Magic Painting video to get an idea of the supplies you will need and what you will need to have ready.
When the children have drawn their picture you can use a paintbrush like you see in the video or you can give the children a spray bottle to watch their picture magically appear. Using a spray bottle would be fun since they would be like firefighters spraying out their fire with a hose, but that is up to you. Either way you can use whatever colors of water colors for children to paint with or spray with. If you add some water to the water color it will make the color last longer. You may have to hang up the picture onto a fence to use the spray bottle properly. Then allow children to spray or paint on the watercolor to watch their picture magically appear.
