Learn about fire drills at school!

"It's a Fire Drill" is a transition song that uses a social story to teach about what happens during a fire drill and prepare students for the experience. This interactive social story walks children through the steps of a fire drill. The social story song includes hearing the alarm, walking quietly in the hallway, waiting outside and then coming back to class.


LYRICS
What’s that sound?
It’s really loud
It sounds like this!
I wont be scared
I will not cry
It’s a fire drill!
I got this!

It’s a fire drill
It’s how we stay safe
It’s a little loud right now
But that's okay!

It’s okay to cover my ears
As long as I don’t cry
Line up quiet and we wait
Our teacher leads the line

It’s a fire drill
It’s how we stay safe
It’s a little loud right now
But that's okay!

We’re super dooper quiet
As we walk in the hall
I am such a brave student!
I’m standing nice and tall!

It’s a fire drill
It’s how we stay safe
It’s a little loud right now
But that's okay!

Wait outside, sound shuts off
The drill is almost done
Back in class and I think
Fire drills aren’t scary ... they’re fun!

It’s a fire drill
It’s how we stay safe
It’s all over, we’re done now
Enjoy your day!
