Sequence 1: A strong wind blows

Sequence 2: The Fire spreads

When you hear the wind blow, leap energetically to join someone nearby and make a bigger flickering fire together.When you hear the wind blow again, stay close to your partner and leap to join another pair nearby to make an even bigger fire. Repeat the sequence until you鈥檝e created one enormous class fire in the middle of the room.
Sequence 3: London鈥檚 Burning! (Again, performed to the nursery rhyme)
Half the class remain in the middle of the room, performing the flickering-flame fire movements while the other half get intopairs around the edge of the fire to perform their 鈥榮ee-saw鈥 waterpump fire engine actions from the previous programme.Swap groups and repeat.
