The purpose of this lesson is to educate our children to stay calm in emergencies and to be prepared to

CONTENT

I will discuss the importance of the phone in an emergency. Police Department, Fire Department, 911,
and trustworthy family friends are all important numbers to have written down somewhere. When talking
on the phone in an emergency situation, being specific is important. You must know your address or
location, be able to describe what happened, and if there is a victim, their condition, and what if anything
has been done to help the situation.

ACTIVITY

The activity will combine safety and art. I will give each student markers and a piece of construction
paper. I will then show the children where to find the numbers in a phone book. I will then give the
children the appropriate numbers. I will also ask the children to choose two phone numbers of Family or
friends they can call during an emergency. They will write these numbers and decorate the construction
paper. I will then stress that it is important to hang these up at home so everyone knows who to call in an
emergency.
