Grade levels: K through 2
This packet is a cohesive lesson for younger audiences that utilizes animated wildlife characters to communicate messages about good and bad fires. The materials seem to have a western United States orientation (i.e., the species used are native to the western states), but should be easily translatable by the communicator into more localized messages. In addition to the animated characters, two flame symbols are used to identify good (a smiley flame) from bad (the frowning flame) fires. The activities revolve around the use of flashcards to stimulate interactive discussion on different types of fire. Activity sheets are included for the students to complete, as is a coloring book and word search, and stickers for the students. The ideas behind this packet are another good example of age-appropriate programming.
