This worksheet titled
"Calling 911" is designed to teach children how to properly communicate with emergency services when calling 911. Each question presents a scenario or part of a conversation, and students must choose the correct response (A or B) based on what would be appropriate in an emergency call.
Let’s go through each question and explain the correct answer:
---
1.
Image: A phone with "911" on it
Options:
A. Hello. 911.
B. Hello. I need an ambulance.
✔ Correct Answer: B. Hello. I need an ambulance.
Explanation: When calling 911, the first thing you should say is your reason for calling (e.g., needing help). The operator will say “Hello, 911” first, so the caller responds with their emergency. So, saying "I need an ambulance" is appropriate after hearing the operator.
