Call your local school bus station or public transportation office and ask them if they will come and talk to your children about bus safety. Copy a large telephone keypad on paper and give one to each of your children. Have them stamp their finger on an inkpad and then dial 911. This helps them really see dialing 911

1. For field trips either get your student matching shirts or have them
   wear the same color.
2. Instead of writing the Childs name on nametags write the name of
   the school. That way strangers can't call them by name
3. Use chaperons that are familiar with the students.

Call your local police office and ask them if they could have someone come and talk to your class. Most offices will be more than happy to come.Use graham crackers, peanut butter and m&m's to make cute traffic lights

1. Make a Fire Truck out of a large box and an old water hose
2. Create a fireman uniform (a yellow raincoat and plastic fireman hat)
3. Make a Fire Truck Cake
4. Have the fire department visit (if you call they are usually more than willing)
5. Draw chalk flames on a sidewalk and let the children put them out (water bottle)

Make a life size phone for each child and one for yourself. Glue them onto poster board or file folders and cut them out. Highlight the buttons with yellow marker so they look like they are lit up. Have each child take turns dialing 911 and giving their information (name address etc). You pretend to be the 911 operator. You can also "call" them by saying the number out loud as you "dial", whoever has that phone number has to "answer" the phone. Everything Preschool >> Themes  >> Safety >> More
