Let the Monster Guard help your students prepare for real-life emergencies with this app-based lesson plan from the American Red Cross. Students join Chad on two animated training missions to learn how to help prevent home fires and how to stay safe when a home fire happens, then practice and share what they have learned with an interactive classroom activity.
Your opinion is important to our program sponsors, and to YMI. We depend on your input to continue providing free educational resources that make a real difference in the classroom.
