At conference time, we try to review safety information with our children. Here's a suggested activity for your next family home evening.
Cut out each of the items below and put them in a bucket or hat. Take turns drawing out the items and reviewing the safety information. Feel free to add to this list based on the ages of your children. Older children should know a phone number of an out of state relative as well as what to do if they are somewhere else when an emergency occurs.
When you are done with the activity, check all the fire alarms in your house and have a fire drill from various rooms in your house.
What's your full Name?
What's your address?
What's your phone number?
What are your Parents' names?
If you're in your bedroom and hear the fire alarm, what would you do?
- Stay low and Go!
- Never go back in.
- Once outside, where will your family meet?
Using a pretend phone, practice dialing 911.
Review water safety.
Show the universal sign for choking. Review the heimlich manuever.
Review CPR for ifants, children and adults.
Discuss poisonous plants and items in your house that are poisonous. Know how to call poison control.
