Fire Power!
~Give each kid a magnifying glass.
~Gather round the cold campfire (or any rocks)
~Each kid makes a tiny pile of twigs and scraps for kindling.

~Position the magnifying glass to catch some rays.
~ Sing "Here Comes the Sun" whenever he peeks out from behind a cloud.
~Coax him with "You are my Sunshine."
~Repeat the magic chant: "Come on baby, light my fire . . ." whenever a ray appears.
~Direct the sun through the magnifying glass onto kindling you've lovingly put together.
~ Watch for smoke wisps above your piece of napkin.
"Hey, I'm thmokin, don't you think?"
~If you are a smokin-hot 2nd grader, that lucky old sun might shine for a second right through your magnifying glass.
~Finally, you scream giddily, "FIRE!!" For you, city slicker that you are, have created fire without a match.
Then, you sleep in the sunshine.
Awwwwwwwwwwww too cute!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous. I wish we could be there!
ReplyDeleteOur first five grandkids were boys, and I'm pretty sure they came hard-wired for trying to start fires with a magnifying glass. Our chant was, "No, you can't have any gasoline", and "Leave those bugs alone or I'm taking that magnifying glass away!"
ReplyDeletelooks like another great campout. have fun!
