Drop & Roll Poster
Preparation:
Discuss and practice Stop,
Drop & Roll; have students look at the demonstration
in the Command Center.
Suggested
Procedure:
Bring in several coats or blankets and red streamers or pieces
of red paper to represent fire. You will need twice as many
“fire streamers” as you have students (except
for the student who plays “it”).
Assign one student to be “it”
(fire) and give him or her the fire streamers. You can switch
this role, so the one student doesn’t always have to
be the fire.
On your signal, the “it” will
“tag” the other students by chasing after each
of them and touching them with a streamer. Once a child has
been tagged, he or she must take the streamer and immediately
stop, drop and roll. Students who have been tagged earlier
can help by encouraging the student to stop, drop and roll
and throwing a coat or blanket over him or her.
Once a child has “put out” his
or her clothing fire, he or she puts the streamer off to the
side (create a pile of streamers ) and joins the other already
tagged students in helping other classmates to stop, drop
and roll.
When all the fire streamers
have been used, the game is over.
