Using old cell phones, have the children practice dialing 9-1-1 and pretend speaking to the dispatcher. Model appropriate language for a call to 9-1-1. Then, on chart paper, help the children make a list of why they might call 9-1-1. Help them understand 9-1-1 calls are only for real problems. This can be done in small group.
