Candle Language Activities

Read the mini-story, then solve each vocabulary challenge. Use clues in the story and what you know about words. Candle flames are hot: never light or handle a candle for this activity.

Read the scene

On a snowy evening, Aria’s family gathered around the kitchen table during a short power outage. An adult lit a candle and placed it safely on a clear, steady surface. Its golden glow softened the shadows. The candle’s wax was solid, but the heat near the flame made a little wax melt. A cotton wick ran through the candle’s centre and carried fuel to the flame. When the electricity returned, the adult carefully extinguished the candle. Aria noticed that the room looked bright again, even though the candle had only made a small pool of light.
