Volunteer activity as a means of instilling fire safety skills to preschool children

The number of fires caused by children remains quite high. The constant employment of adults, a high pace of life, and other factors adversely affect the development of skills for safe behavior of children. In the preschool period, the foundation is laid for a conscious and responsible attitude to personal security issues. In order to improve the training of preschool children in fire safety rules and their effective socialization, the active use of volunteer labor is proposed. Volunteers are professional workers, parents, schoolchildren, and students. They can teach children how to deal with fire and provide first aid, which is necessary to save their own lives. When organizing and conducting classes with children, volunteers must take into account their psychological, age, physiological and physical characteristics. Volunteers need special training in the field of fire safety, knowledge of methods and methods for conducting classes with children. Activities such as reading fiction, games, sports, talking, situational game tasks, will allow the child to put the acquired knowledge and skills into practice. The ongoing targeted training of volunteers for working with children will contribute to the effective formation of a system of safe behavior among preschool children.
