Cheese & Fruit Kabobs


Ingredients:

  • Various fruits in season – berries, grapes, sliced bananas, kiwi fruit chunks, pineapple chunks, melon chunks

  • Yogurt – strawberry, vanilla, or any choice that would fit with fruits and cheese

  • Wooden skewers

Directions:

  • Prepare fruit ahead of time so it is in small pieces ready for the skewer – (for light fruits such as pears or banana, prevent discoloring by slicing into Fruit Fresh or pineapple juice)

Learning Your Address and Phone Number

Activity Description


Children will learn their address and phone number to help keep them safe. Memorization strategies include singing, rhyming, and dialing using telephone keypad models for practice.

 

Why This Is Helpful


To help keep children safe, they should know their address and phone number. If they are lost or in trouble when away from home, they should have their phone number and address memorized so they can tell a safe grown-up how to reach their family. In this activity, children use a variety of motor, literacy, and communication skills as they sing songs, recite rhymes, and practice dialing, in order to memorize their phone numbers and addresses.

This activity was modified from the ReadWriteThink lesson plan “Teaching Language Skills Using the Phone Book."


Get Started

What You Need


  • Copies of local phone book

  • An old phone, toy phone, or a telephone keypad or a cellphone keypad on a piece of paper

 

Here's What To Do


  1. Share a phone book with the children. Look through the pages together and ask children what they see and know about the phone book. What can they find there? How are things organized? What else is included?

  2. Working together, see if you can find your own and the children’s addresses and phone numbers.

  3. Write children’s phone numbers in large numbers on pieces of paper so they can refer to the numbers. Have them read the numbers to you.

  4. Have children practice reading their phone numbers several times a day. You can also make up songs or tunes to sing the phone numbers to.

  5. Get a toy or old phone, or a copy of a telephone keypad or a cellphone keypad on a piece of paper. Using the papers with their phone numbers, have them practice dialing.

  6. After a few times practicing, have children try to remember their phone numbers and dial them without looking at the numbers on their papers.

  7. Once they have practiced several times and are comfortable with dialing, have them call their home numbers from a cell phone or from another phone. If you’re using an old cell phone, you will need to talk about pushing the talk button to complete the call.

  8. To help children learn their addresses, you can use many of the same strategies. Write down their full address for them to read and review. They can also look at the mail to see their addresses.

  9. Make a song or a riddle of children’s addresses to make it easier for them to remember.

  10. Have children look at the numbers on their houses or mailboxes. They can look at street signs as well.

 

More Ideas To Try


  • Using poster board, recreate a telephone keypad or a cellphone keypad. Have children use their feet to dial their phone numbers. Ask them to say or sing their phone numbers as they do it.

  • Let children practice their knowledge by writing their return addresses on envelopes. They could also practice typing them on the computer.

  • Using a small photo album, make personalized phone books with pictures of the children’s friends and relatives and their phone numbers. Children can also practice dialing these numbers with permission.

Stop, drop and roll 

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop,_drop_and_roll 

Stop, drop and roll consists of three components. 

1.Stop – The fire victim must stop still, ceasing any movement which may fan the flames or hamper those attempting to put the fire out. 

2.Drop – The fire victim must drop to the ground, lying down if possible, covering their face with their hands to avoid facial injury. 

3.Roll – The fire victim must roll on the ground in an effort to extinguish the fire by depriving it of oxygen. If the victim is on a rug or one is nearby, they can roll the rug around themselves to further extinguish the flame. 

The effectiveness of stop, drop and roll may be further enhanced by combining it with other firefighting techniques, including the use of a fire extinguisher, dousing with water, or fire beating one's skin. 

Stop, Drop, and Roll!
