Fire Safety
Program Idea
• I did a simple program this October for National
Fire Prevention week.
• I found some fire safety tips that were relevant
to dorm life, printed them to labels, and stuck
them to index cards.
• To finish it off, I taped a packet of Smarties to
each card and handed them out to people in my
classes.
Fire Safety Bulletin Board Idea
• Use your Student Handbook, Residential Life
Handbook, and the internet to find information
about fire safety
• Print the information on large labels and stick on
different colored paper
• Add photos & pictures
• Have some facts printed on index cards with
Smarties candies attached to the board to catch
students attention. Mark the area with the
cards “Take one” so residents interact with the
board.
This was was simple, easy, and
very effective.
