Activities:
Fire Safety: The reference to the house fire within the story provides an excellent launching point to discuss fire safety with your child. Here are a few helpful links:

Burn Awareness ~ Some printable activities and videos to teach both burn awareness and fire safety.
Unit Study: A few years ago, I put together a unit study to correspond with A Chair for My Mother. The activities within the unit study address a variety of social studies learning outcomes. If desired, browse through and pick and choose activities that are of interest to you and your child. Here's the link: A Chair for My Mother Unit Study
Be a Blessing:
The family in this story consists of a little girl, her single mother and her grandmother. When they face a hardship (a house fire), it seems that the entire community surrounds them with love. Can you and your child think of someone in your community that could use a little love surrounding? A mother with a new baby, a newly moved-in family, a lonely neighbour, an unloved one on the street? Can you think of a way to bless them?
The greatest gift of all is to become the blessing. ~ Ann Voskamp
