and helpful fires as well as harmful fires. Students
will also understand aspects of fire safety.
• Narrative script (on the following pages).
• Props (or slides, if available) to emphasize the
appropriate topic.
Procedures:
We will be telling the children that we will be

burns. If they do not respond this way, then we
will lead them to this conclusion.
