An ambulance/medical theme is especially popular at the beginning of the school year when many preschools focus on “All About Me” and/or “All About My Community” activities. These free ambulance printables and Montessori-inspired ambulance activities would fit perfectly in a community helper unit.
Montessori-Inspired Ambulance Activities Using Free Printables
Ambulance Lacing Activity
Free Printable: Ambulance Lacing from Zoomin’ Movin’ Alphabet Letter Aa at Royal Baloo
The tray is a Multicraft tray. This activity just requires printing out, laminating, and cutting out the ambulance; punching holes around the ambulance; and using tape to create an end on a piece of yarn for lacing. Older children could use yarn threaded through a needle.
Free Printable: “Dial 911″ Song from DLTK’s Crafts for Kids
The “Dial 911” song is a fun way for young children to learn about calling 911. I would definitely include this song as part of a community helper unit study.
I would use this printable for a tabletop or shelf display that’s part of the medical or community helper theme. I simply printed it out, laminated it, and added it to a tabletop easel.
DIY Ambulance Cards and Counters
Free Printable: Numberline – Police and Ambulance Theme from City Teacher Goes Country at Teachers Pay TeachersThis is a cute printable for placing numbered ambulances in order from 1-10.
I used the printables as number cards for Montessori-inspired cards and counters with an ambulance theme.
I used 55 red glass gems for counters and a glass candle coaster to hold the counters.
Aa is for Ambulance Activity
Free Printable: Aa is for Ambulance Do-a-Dot Printable from Zoomin’ Movin’ Alphabet Letter Aa at Royal Baloo
I used a large plastic tray from Montessori Services. I placed only the number of glass gems in the dish that are needed to complete the activity for a control of error.
I also added quick sticks from Montessori Services to include a fun fine-motor activity. I sometimes use a sugar tong from Montessori Services instead of the quick sticks.
3-D Paper Craft Ambulance
Free Printable: 3-D Paper Craft Ambulance from The Home School Zone This is an advanced cutting activity and fun craft that would work well for kindergarteners through elementary-level children.
Elementary-level children might like to make the ambulance for a younger sibling. I used Fiskar kids’ scissors.
