Health Education Standard:

Motivation:

• Begin this lesson by handing out the student master. Tell them that they will be learning the song on the top of the sheet. Teach the song by rote. Then, add the appropriate motions to the song.
• Discuss how Stop-Drop-Roll can save a person if he or she catches fire. A person needs to roll numerous times until the fire is completely out. They also need to make sure they are rolling over the area that is on fire.
• Play a modified game of Hot Potato, called Hot Fire! Game begins by one person tossing the fire (ball or object) to another person. That person is then ‘on fire’. They must follow the Stop-Drop-Roll procedure before they are allowed to toss is to another student.

• Have students complete the student master by drawing pictures to represent the Stop-Drop-Roll procedure.
