This lesson explores anti-social behaviour involving fire, helping students understand what it is, why it happens, and the serious consequences of deliberate fire setting. Using a real-life video scenario, pupils reflect on the risks to themselves, others, and emergency services, as well as the long-term impact on future opportunities and family life.
How To Use
Deliver the lesson over 45–60 minutes using a mix of discussion, video, and activities. Start by exploring students’ ideas about anti-social behaviour fires, then introduce key concepts and consequences. Play the video, pausing to discuss risks, peer pressure, and impacts. Use the ripple effect activity to deepen understanding of who is affected, and finish with a discussion on resisting peer pressure and a short recap of key learning.
