This sorting page provides a number of scenarios to read and think about before cutting & gluing them. It's sure to produce some good talks about visits to the pool, playing at the beach, boating on the river, or trips to the lake! Students will sort the following into "Safe" or "Not Safe": swim without an adult go in deep water wear sunscreen drink up the water you are swimming in wear goggles do not wear a life jacket on the boat wear a swim float wear sunglasses your mom catches you in the deep end of the pool run around the pool Water safety is an important discussion, this helps makes it meaningful yet simple for Kindergarten and First grade! Be sure students have an opportunity to share their thinking in regards to these situations and why they sorted they way the did. If you need other resources for Kindergarten and First Grade check my store for even more! Thanks for stopping by….

Working together to make shelters with wood string and a tarp. One of my favorite things about being a leader was our yearly campouts. I am not much of a outdoor type of leader, we always stayed in a cabin and would enjoy the outdoors, but sleep in a heated cabin. So this post wont have anything specific for tent camping. But no matter how much you love or hate the outdoors there is always room for a campfire, outdoor activities, and games. I thought I would share some tips and ideas, so your troop can have a fun and safe time. I’m hoping this post will make your time, around your campfire, more fun for you and your troop. I have ideas for songs, games and food. I know some of this information you might already know but I hope it’s helpful. Campfire: Safety First Enjoying the fire is the easy part, before that you need to build the fire, start the fire, and make sure the area around the fire is safe. 6 Safety Tips around a campfireBefore you have a campfire it is important to go over some safety rules with your girls. It doesn’t matter what age your troop is it is important to be safe. Print this post out and share all this with your girls. Keep a safe distance from the fire. If you plan to roast marshmallows or other food, adult supervision required. No horseplay near the fire. Don’t throw anything in the fire or poke it with a stick. If you catch on fire. (Stop, Drop, and Roll) No loose clothes and make sure long hair is tied back. Avoid wearing synthetic or plastic jackets around the fire. Try this: Use a visual and build a pretend fire and give them the rules listed above. You can even do a editable fire that in the end they can eat. Read more about making Preparing and building a Campfire Check with local authorities to see if they allow fires in your area. Don’t make a fire too close to homes, shrubs trees, tents or other buildings. Make sure there’s no brush near the fire. Clear an area approximately 10 feet. When building your fire remember to use dry hard wood. Pine give off a lot of sparks. Make a teepee with a few pieces of hardwood. Put kindling inside the teepee (twigs, leaves, newspaper, bark, etc.) Light the tinder. Slowly add wood after the fire is burning. 5 safety tips during the fire Have a hose or bucket of water ready in case you need it in an emergency or when it’s time to put the fire out. A fire blanket is good to have on hand incase someone catches on fire. Pay attention to the wind direction and strength. Keep the fire safe and manageable. Keep the wood burning steadily. Don’t make a huge fire. Extinguishing the fire Let the wood burn completely to ash if possible. Pour a lot of water, to drown the embers. The water will make a hissing sound, when it hits the fire. Pour water until there is no more hissing. Everything should be cool to the touch. First Aid for burns Place burn area under cool (not cold) water for 1st degree burns, for 10-15 minutes. Don’t break or open small blisters. For a more serious burn, cover with a clean cloth or sterile bandage. Call 911 or go to the hospital for serious burns. I hope this information is helpful and you can have a fun and safe bonfire or campfire.

Twenty QuestionsTwenty Questions is played by choosing one girl as “the thinker” and thinks of a subject (person, place or thing). The rest of your troop takes turns asking “yes” or “no” questions, one at a time. After each girl asks a question, she can try to guess the subject. They each get a turn or depending on the size of your troop or 20 questions have been asked. Let each girl have a turn being “the thinker”. It’s probably a good idea to have the girl whisper or write down what they are prior to the “yes” and “no” questions.

... and having a fun time, too! Camp fires, singing song, and telling stories when camping... a girl scout tradition! Before we ventured outside to build our campfire, our Girl Scouts learned "Camp Fire Safety" by building their own Edible Campfire (idea found HERE). We went step by step building our edible campfire, discussing what we'll need to do and NOT do when we are at our real camp fire outside. A Camp Fire "Fun Patch" was earned for our camp fire time. Our "Edible Camp Fire" Do's: Keep long hair pulled back in a pony tail Stay behind the fire ring of rocks Enjoy our time singing songs and having fun Put out the fire with water, followed by burying it with dirt Be safe and follow rules Don't: Go past the fire ring without an adult Throw anything in the fire Go on the side where smoke is blowing Be unsafe Girl Scout, Lacy, holding our "talking stick", (made from a feather duster, decorated with ribbon and beads) sharing a funny story... Songs led by Daisy Girl Scout Leader, and "Master of Ceremony", Kristi. Leader, Teri, gives thumbs up for a great time!

As we welcome in October and cooler temperatures we prepare to start spending the cooler days inside keeping warm. With heaters, fireplaces and candles being used frequently it is important to teach our young ones safety skills that will keep them safe whether they are at a friends house, a bonfire or simply trying to keep warm by the fireplace. Next week is fire prevention week, most schools will have fire drills and talk about fire safety. It is important to go over these skills with your little ones both at school and at home. The easiest way to start a safety conversation is through a story. Our story this week is Flashing Fire Engines by Tony Mitton a cute rhyming story about fire engines and firemen. Illustrated with bright bold pictures, it is the perfect opportunity to introduce some new vocabulary words to your little one at home and start talking fire safety. "Big Bold fire engines, waiting day and night, Ready for a rescue or a blazing fire to fight. As soon as there's a fire alarm, the engines start to roar. The firefighters jump aboard..it rumbles out the door." The sing song tone is delightful to little ones and helps to make a scary topic a little easier to understand. This story will help open up the lines of communication for you in a non threatening way. Encourage your little one to ask questions and point out things that they notice. Ask them questions like, "What do you think firemen use a mask for?" or "Why do they carry a large hose?" Starting a learning discussion might just save your child's life one day. After introducing fire safety with your little ones you should use your community as a resource. Reach out to a local fire department and stop by to take a tour. Having your children meet the firemen, see the equipment and big trucks.This will help them to be less fearful the next time they hear a siren or God forbid are in a fire and are being rescued by a fireman. Local children's museums are also a great resource, some have role play stations where they can actually dress up like a firefighter, play on a firetruck and even try to evacuate a smoke (netting) filled room by crawling low and finding a door. We recently visited the Chicago Children's Museum while on vacation and our oldest, Kaitlyn, had a great time exploring the fire station, she dressed up, slid down a fire pole and even practiced evacuating. By talking, visiting and role playing a very overwhelming frightening topic becomes much easier and less scary to start discussing. After introducing fire safety and what firemen do, go over some fire safety rules of your own. Talk about the importance of never touching matches or fire (candles, fire pit or fire place) or placing anything on or near the stove. Work together to find a safe spot for your family to meet in the front and back yards if there ever was a fire. Two locations are important in case one is inaccessible. Practice crawling low throughout your house and feeling the doors to see if they are hot. Show your kids how to get out as fast as they can and go to the safe spot outside. The more you practice the better chance you have of your child staying calm and surviving a house fire. Get the conversation started in your family with the freebie below. Just save and print the image. Get your older children involved by having them draw an evacuation map of the house, make sure they include a map key and label their exits and meeting places. We hope that you are encouraged to address this very important topic with your family!

In 1735 the first fire brigade was formed, and in 1752 the first American fire insurance company was formed. In America, the fire brigades knew that the insurance company, whose mark was on a building, would reward the fire brigade which successfully put out the fire. This oval mark was made by "The Fire Association of Philadelphia" (founded in 1817) with a full stream of water gushing from a hose attached to an old-time fire plug, with the letters "F.A."
