Figure out a way to connect a candleholder (with 1-3 candles in it) onto some type of helmet. Choose four kids and have them stand 10 feet away from each other. Light the candles, give them squirt guns to try to put out the others’ fire. You may want to hand them bigger and bigger guns (up to a Super-Soaker) until someone wins.
Have two semi-final rounds and a final round. Sitting on their knees is best. Music: Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire”, “Come on Baby Light my Fire” (Jose Feliciano), “Fire” (Ohio Players), the 70s song, “Burn Baby Burn” from the movie Saturday Night Fever, or maybe even theme song from the movie The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Have towels, know your water supply, and you will need two good lighters. Also, I’d suggest putting a tarp on the ground, to catch any melted wax that flies off the helmets if the students jerk their heads.
