This Religion and worldviews video introduces children to different examples of how fire has been used in the past and is used today. It supports them to consider how it can be used both practically and symbolically for every day reasons and religious reasons too. It includes examples of fire being used for warmth, light, bringing people together, cooking, celebrations and rituals.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Religion and Worldviews resources to support children in building a bigger picture about the uses of fire.
