First: Welcome the children into the session. Say how happy we are to see them and how important they are for the class. Explain we will follow the letters of the alphabet in order to choose the volunteer for the opening prayer. So, the child’s name that starts with the letter A will do the opening prayer this time. Everybody will have the chance to collaborate as the weeks passed by.



         After that, the Spiritist worker will introduce the “Raffle Box of Prayers”. In your turn, each child will open the box, choose one prayer and read it out loud for the whole class. We will do it until all children have their chance to choose and read a prayer.

         When the activity with the “Raffle box of Prayers” finishes the volunteer will collect the booklet “The Lord’s Prayer” with the children who was responsible in the previous week.

         The volunteer can ask questions like:
         * What did you like the most in this prayer;
         * What could you learn during the week with the prayer and others

         The children can also read the prayer for his/hers colleagues. Please note another child will be able to choose himself/herself to take the booklet home and bring it back next week.

         P.S. The parents will be informed and also asked about their availability to bring the booklet next week, at the end of the class.

         Second: Prayer Activity – Each child will receive a piece of paper in order to create their own prayer. As soon as they finish they would be able to read it to their colleagues and put the prayers inside the “Raffle box of Prayers”.

         Ask the children: what’s their recipe for friendship? What ingredients have you been putting into your friendship soup?

         Seventh: Activity – Friends:

         Materials: Pre-cut paper dolls (4 connected dolls for each child); miscellaneous crafts supplies (buttons, ribbon, fabric, etc.); crayons or markers; glue

         The children decorate their friends. This is a great time to remind them that we can have many, many friends at school or at the spiritist centre!


         Eighth: Cards with good actions will be placed inside a bag. Each child will have a turn to collect a card and imitate the drawing that is in the picture. They can either perform the task/activity alone and/or invite a friend to join them.

         Ninth: Reading Time - Spiritist Books will be placed on the table for the children. The children would be invited to share, to read and say what they see when they are reading.

         Tenth: Healing Theatre - Prepare the kids for the healing time. The volunteer will bring many pieces of paper with some good and bad instructions. 2 children will participate on activity at a time. 1 child would seat down on the chair meanwhile the other will read the instructions. The child who is sitting down on the chair should follow the instructions told by the other colleague. If these are good instructions the child should stick it on a board created by the volunteer. However, if these are bad instructions the child should through it in a bin. Each pair at a time will have the chance to participate.

         Eleventh: Closing prayer - One of the children will do a closing prayer. Explain we will follow the letters of the alphabet in order to choose the volunteer for the closing prayer. So, the child’s name that starts with the letter B will do the opening prayer this time. Everybody will have the chance to collaborate as the weeks passed by.
