This lesson plan is based around the accompanying animated 'Bitesize Video - Stop, Drop and Roll' in which Firefighter Jack explains the stop, drop and roll technique. This is a life saving technique and is the best course of action to take if your clothes ever catch fire. This lesson plan provides details on how to develop a short practical lesson that encourages the children to practise the 'stop, drop and roll' technique together as practising the process will hopefully help them to remember it more easily in an emergency situation. Through this lesson, children will also learn the reasons why they should stop, drop and roll.
How To Use
This lesson plan can be used to guide you and provide ideas for delivering a lesson based around the video. This lesson can be incorporated into Health and Wellbeing learning or as a warm up activity in a PE session however to deliver the lesson safely, you will need to ensure that you have an empty and safe space for the children to practice the technique such as in the school hall or on a grassed area. To remind them what to do, the children can be tasked with designing their own poster to teach other children how to Stop, Drop and Roll.
The video can be found below and also in the StayWise Scotland First Level Bundle.
