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 pass 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 loudly for whole class. We will do it until all the kids 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 make up a few questions, such as:

         * What did you most like in this prayer;
         * What could you learn during the week with the prayer and others.

         The child can also read the prayer for his/hers colleagues. Another child will be able to choose himself/herself to take the booklet home and bring next week, at the end of this activity.

         The Lord’s Prayer booklet

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

         The group would be divided into 2 small groups

         Second: Story – Fable of the Red fish

         Extra ideas:
         The volunteer will bring some pictures of Jesus that can be used during the story.

         Fifth: Reading Time:

         Extra Activity - Activity: Flower Sharing
         The volunteer will bring one origami flower for each child. Every flower will have a name written at the back, so the child will take one flower, check the name and give it to the respective colleague.

         Get whole group back together

         Sixth: Prayer Activity
         Make a circle with all the children. We will use the same poster that was used last week – make a prayer for each one of the figures (animals, Jesus – for example). Each child will stand up and take one prayer, read it and then stick in the poster near the figure that is related to it.
