A Closer Look

Fire Safety Curriculum

Summary

Play, skit, and lessons help students recognize burn and fire hazards through a nursery rhyme mash-up activity, onomatopoeia exercises, and executing a safety survey.

Introduction

Jack B. Nimble & the Risky Residence is a zany classroom comedy in which our favorite nursery rhyme characters demonstrate the guidelines for fire safety. When a classroom visits their local fire station, firefighters Jack and Jill learn from Mary’s Lamb that Mary’s house might not be as fire-safe as it should be. When they and the entire class visit Mary’s house, they indeed encounter a house full of hazards. Together with the entire class, Jack and Jill help Mary recognize fire and burn hazards in her home.
