Bible story
Exodus 1:8-14; 2:11-15; 3:1-10
The Play-Along Bible (Bob Hartman) ‘A Bush on Fire’, p32
Talk about how people build bonfires at this time of year to burn up all the dead leaves and how we need to be careful around bonfires and fireworks to keep safe.
Song suggestions
(Tune: ‘If you’re happy and you know it’)
The leaves are falling down – Autumn’s here!
The leaves are falling down – Autumn’s here!
We scrunch them with our feet as we walk along the street,
The leaves are falling down – Autumn’s here!
The fireworks go bang – Autumn’s here!
The fireworks go bang - Autumn’s here!
They shoot up very high and light up all the sky,
The fireworks go bang – Autumn’s here!
2. (Tune: ‘London’s burning’)
Bonfire’s burning, bonfire’s burning,
Getting hotter, getting hotter,
Fire, fire! Fire, fire!
Rockets whizzing, rockets whizzing,
Sparklers fizzing, sparklers fizzing.
3. (Tune: ‘Ten green bottles’)
Five little fireworks standing in a row,
Five little fireworks standing in a row;
When one little firework decides it’s time to go,
‘5, 4, 3, 2, 1, blast off!’ (spoken)
There'll be four little fireworks standing in a row.
Prayer
Thank you, God, for days of celebration like Bonfire Night. Help us to have lots of fun at this special time, but also please keep us all safe.
Amen.
