“Sound the Sirens”
Time for Two’s
Opening: Big Books
Fingerplay: “If You Want to Hear a Story”
Board Book: “Itty Bitty Kitty: Firehouse Fun"
*This book is so cute! It's great to make interactive, because the kids help guess what is wiggling, which is the firehose and the dog's tail. They also help make lots of fun sounds. The two's really seemed to enjoy this book quite a bit.

Fingerplay: “Helpful Firefighters” (Tune: She’ll be Coming Around...)
Oh, firefighters wear big rubber boots! (repeat twice)
Oh, when fire causes trouble, they’ll be right there on the double.
Oh, firefighters wear big rubber boots!
*Oh, firefighters drive a great big truck! (vroom, vroom) repeat
Oh, when fire causes trouble, they’ll be right there on the double.
Oh, firefighters drive a great big truck.
*I got this fingerplay from a Mailbox magazine. A great fingerplay to help get wiggles out!
Fingerplay: “Firefighter, Firefighter”
Firefighter, firefighter, turn around.
Firefighter, firefighter, touch the ground.
Firefighter, firefighter, climb the stairs.
Firefighter, firefighter, jump in the air.
Firefighter, firefighter, swing your axe about.
Firefighter, firefighter, spray the fire out.
Firefighter, firefighter, turn around.
Firefighter, firefighter, sit back down.
*The kids love doing any version of "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, Turn Around". We had lots of fun pretending to be firefighters.
Book: “Firefighters to the Rescue”
*This is a very simple but great firefighter book. It repeats the phrase "Firefighters to the Rescue!" The kids normally enjoy this one more, but we still had fun with it.
Fingerplay/Flannel: “Three Little Firefighters”
Three little firefighters standing in a row
1,2,3, let’s slide down the pole! (spin in circle)
Jump on the engine with a shout
Spray the fire, hooray! It’s out!
*Count down until you have no more firefighters left.
*I don't remember where I found this fingerplay, but it was the favorite of everything we did! I made a building out of posterboard, and had flames I printed out and taped to a ruler. After we jumped on the engine, we looked over and the flames were peeking out of the top of my building! Of course, we had to spray the fire with our pretend fire hoses until the flames went down behind the building. We repeated this until we had zero firefighters left. The kids went crazy over this!
Fingerplay/Flannel: “Wheels on the Firetruck”
*We ran out of time for this wonderful song, but I have a big firetruck I place up on the flannelboard. Before singing I will ask the kids what my firetruck needs, and then we will sing about that part until everything is on the firetruck.
Fingerplay/Flannel: “Dog Dancing”
*For this, I printed out some dalmatian dogs with firefighter helmets on. I have them laminated and velcroed too. We danced around with our dogs, then placed them upon the flannel to end storytime.
Below is our craft for this week. The kids got to glue the firetruck, the flames and smoke onto the picture. This craft was a lot of fun to create, and I think the kids really enjoyed it too.
