FIREFIGHTER GAMES & ACTIVITIES

Here are some games that we'd like to suggest for the parents to do at the parties that are both fun and educational.

PARTY GAMES TIP
IF YOU ARE HOSTING A PARTY FOR YOUNG CHILDREN, WE SUGGEST GIVING EVERY PLAYER A SMALL PRIZE AFTER ALL OF THE GAMES ARE PLAYED. BIRTHDAY PARTIES ARE NOT THE TIME TO TEACH LIFE LESSONS OF WINNING, LOSING ETC. THEY ARE JUST SUPPOSED TO BE FUN !

PRE-SCHOOL FIRE TRUCK GAMES
MAKE KID-SIZED FIRE TRUCKS WITH MOVING BOXES, RED PAINT, PAPER PLATE WHEELS AND CONSTRUCTION PAPER HEAD LIGHTS. WE USED PIECES OF CLOTHESLINE TO MAKE HANDLES ON THE SIDES. CUT OFF THE TOPS AND BOTTOMS OF THE BOXES. THE CHILDREN CAN STEP INSIDE AND HOLD THE SIDES WHILE THEY RUN AND PLAY.

USE THESE FOR A GAME – RUN AND RUN BUT WHEN THE ALARM (BELL) SOUNDS EVERYONE FREEZES !

WATER BRIGADE
CARRY WATER FROM ONE LARGE BUCKET TO ANOTHER EMPTY BUCKET, USING A SMALL BEACH PAIL. THE CHILDREN WILL FORM TWO LINES AND PASS THE PAIL FROM ONE PLAYER TO ANOTHER UNTIL THE LARGE FILLED BUCKET IS EMPTY. THEY CAN THEN REVERSE PLAY GOING THE OTHER DIRECTION.

FIREHOUSE OBSTACLE COURSE
SET UP AN OBSTACLE COURSE WITH ANY SAFE ITEMS. TO PLAY, THE CHILDREN WILL GO THROUGH THE “FIRE ZONE” AS FAST AS THEY CAN.

PIN THE TAIL ON THE DALMATION
PLAY JUST LIKE PIN THE TAIL ON THE DONKEY USING A HAND DRAWN DALMATION DOG, PAPER TAILS AND DOUBLE SIDED STICKY TAPE.

FIREMAN DRESS-UP
PROVIDE SOME FIRE HATS, BOOTS AND OVER-SIZED RAIN JACKETS. ADD CUT PIECES OF A GARDEN HOSE FOR FIRE HOSES.

MUSICAL FIRE HYDRANTS OR FIRE TRUCKS
HINT: BARNEY’S FAVORITES VOL. 1 HAS “HURRY, HURRY DRIVES THAT FIRE TRUCK” SONG WHICH IS PERFECT FOR THIS GAME.

FIRE TRUCK PRINTS
PURCHASE FIREFIGHTER THEMED PAINT SPONGES OR STAMPS. USE WASHABLE PAINTS AND COLORFUL PAPER. LET THE KIDS MAKE A MASTERPEICE TO TAKE HOME.
