Playing firefighter is a fun game to play with friends.

You can work together as a team to put out pretend fires.

Things You Need:

  • Red paper or red blocks for pretend flames
  • Cardboard tubes or jump ropes for hoses
  • Chairs or a big box for a fire truck

Step 1: Get Your Gear Ready First, find simple items around the room. A cardboard tube makes a great pretend hose.

You can also wear red hats if you have them.

Step 2: Choose Your Jobs Next, give every friend a job. One friend can drive the pretend fire truck.

Another friend can spray the pretend water. A third friend can be the helper.

Step 3: Set Up the Fire Place red paper on a rug or low table. This red paper is your pretend fire.

Make sure the room is safe and clear of clutter.

Step 4: Sound the Alarm Make a loud siren sound together! You can say, "Wee-woo, wee-woo!"

Drive your pretend truck over to the fire quickly and safely.

Step 5: Put Out the Fire Point your pretend hose at the red paper. Make a spraying sound like "shhhhh!"

Pick up the red paper to show the fire is all gone.

Put your toys away so you are ready for the next rescue.
