Preschool tasks Fire brigade & police
Nee-naw! What does the fire brigade do, what does the police do? These two topics are particularly popular with young children from the age of 5. Fire safety and road safety education are then on the agenda at pre-school. Teachers like to have these areas on the agenda and explain how to behave correctly, which numbers are important and what tasks the police and fire brigade have.
With this additional printable material for preschool children, whether at home or in kindergarten, children can not only keep themselves busy. They can also practise some skills in a playful and fun way, which they can later use at school. And all this with the exciting themes of ‘Police and Fire Brigade’!
