Fun Ideas
Check with your local fire department and ask if they give tours of the
fire station. Let the children explore the fire
station and sit in the
fire truck. This is a great photo opportunity to get a picture of each
child. Take a picture of
all the kids in front of the station with the
firemen.
Many fire stations have free fireman helmets, stickers, coloring pages etc. that they will provide for your party. Don’t forget to bring along some sweet treats for the firemen while you are there!
Firefighter Relay Games
Guests are divided into two teams. 4 buckets are needed - 2 at the start line & two about 25 feet away from the start line. The two farthest
buckets are filled with water. Then one at a time players take theri sponge, run to their bucket filled with water, get water on the sponge
and then they run to put the water in their container near their team. First team that fills their own bucket wins.
Fireman Dress Up Relay
Place two sets of almost identical items in two baskets. Find things
that firemen would use - rain boots, rain coats, fireman hat, length of
garden hose rolled up … etc. Then break the guests into two teams and
have them line up
behind each other. The first person in line from each
team must run to the baskets, put on the clothes and items,
run back to
the start … then run back to the basket, take the items off and run back
to the start to tag the next
person in line. The team who finishes first
wins a prize.
Firefighter Training
Set up an obstacle course in the back yard with tires, obstacles,
tunnels, planks etc. Place a kitten or Dalmatian
at the end of the relay
race and tell them they must brave the course, rescue the animal and
then make it back
to the start. Split up into two teams and run the
course relay style or let them run through it individually and keep
track of their time with a stopwatch. Once they’ve mastered the course
make them run through it again holding a
length of garden hose or
backwards.
