Kidde Home Safety Education Center - Take a look at the Java games at this new resource promoting fire safety. It's presented by a company that makes extinguishers and alarms of various types. Captain Kidde, a colorful superhero, teaches children about fire protection equipment, how to conduct fire safety checks and fire drills, and ways to save themselves and others in the event of a fire. We had fun creating blueprints of imaginary houses and dragging around various appliances, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers until we figured we'd done a pretty good job. Captain Kidde evaluated our work, and luckily he agreed. There are various games for ages 5 to 13 and lots of information for parents, too. Teachers will find lesson plans designed for grades K-8 and safety tips on preventing fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. There are also home safety education tools for firefighters to use during communityhouses, in-school visits, and similar outreach activities. You'll find loads of links, too.
