Quotes/SongsRules Rap (lightly slap your knees to this one)Rules can be helpful, 

Rules can be good. They help us behave, The way we should.

We follow the rules, And we don't do wrong. The world's a happier place When we all get along. 

Smoke ChantIf you don't want to choke Crawl under the smoke. Get down on the floor And head for the door.(Act out with a blanket or towel as the smoke, have children crawl underneath.)

Firefighter Song (tune: I'm a Little Teapot)I'm a little firefighter on the go. Here is my helmet Here is my hose. When I see a fire, Hear me shout: "Turn on the water and put the fire out!" Shhhhhhhh!

I'm a Police Officer(Sung to: "I'm a little Teapot")I'm a police officerWith my star,I help peopleNear and far.If you have a problem,Call on me,And I will be thereOne, two, three!
