How it works

A smoke alarm is a helper. It keeps our home safe.

When it beeps, we go outside together.

Get low, go to the door, go outside and meet at your spot.

Worked examples

Beep means go

Beep, beep, beep! Stop playing.
Get down low, near the floor.
Go with your grown-up, side by side.

Toys can wait

Kit sees his teddy on the floor and wants to grab it.
His grown-up says, toys can wait, and Teddy will be okay.
Kit keeps going to the door.

Stay outside

Meet at your spot, like the big tree.
Nobody goes back in.
Grown-ups call for help, because that is their job.
