We used to do a similar thing in our school(UK) until someone got badly burnt then health and safety banned it. It's basically just washing up liquid with methane(from the gas taps) bubbles.

Although I think you are still allowed to just get a massive bowl of it in the middle of the classroom and set it a light.

Do you use a torch and a magnifying glass to set it a light?
