Before continuing with the story of Prophet Ibraheem (AS), I read the story of Frances the Firefly to the twins (a story I remember from my own childhood! Though that was linked with fireworks and Bonfire Night 😅) and we talked about the dangers of fire and how horrible it would be if our homes burnt down or we were trapped in a fire. Then I lit a match for them to see - with VERY (!!!) careful supervision they didn't actually touch the flame, they put their finger close enough to feel its heat.
Later, we read the next part in the Migo & Ali book (pages 30-36) and discussed it as we went along: what they thought about what happened, how it made them feel, etc. They related it to our previous discussions from reading about Frances the Firefly and looking at the match.
Then I gave them a worksheet each to fill in the gaps (they took it in turns to read each sentence and we talked about what could go in the blank - then they each wrote their own version of the answer) and the option to colour in the fire at the bottom. You'll notice it didn't matter if their fire looked realistic or not, it's more to do with the process to aid with their memory of the story. 😂
