First - Opening prayer: The Spiritist Volunteer will ask one child to read one topic of the “The Lord’s Prayer”. The Spiritist worker will introduce a box of prayer after the prayer and will ask for one child to volunteer himself/herself to read the prayer for the class. Please ask the child to say his/her words as well, as to complement the opening prayer.
Second: Welcome the children into the session. Say how happy we are to see them there and how important they are for the class. Play hot potato game with the children. When the music stops the child who is holding the hot potato ball will be asked to say what they like the most at the Spiritist Centre (their favourite activity, their favourite time, my favourite parable…)
Third: Sing songs together; get the children to remain standing but in a circle.
+++ sing other songs from the songs’ list as per attached here.

Fourth (6:15pm - 6:30pm): Start a conversation about our body and how important it is for us. Remind them what we have been learning till now:
- the meaning of Divine Gift, present of God for all of us (The Spiritist worker will bring the big child body confectioned during the class about Functions of the Body. The children completed the drawing of a big child body using colourful pencils);
- parts of the body (identify them and sing the song: head, shoulders, knees and toes – see below);
- movements (quickly mimic, giving examples of good actions to be taken with our body);.
The Spiritist Volunteer can also bring the boy and girl paper poster used in the earlier classes.
God gave us this body for us stay for a period of time on the Earth in order to have some experiences to progress and evolve. Therefore, we should protect and care about this treasure; that is our body. (Ask the kids why our body is a treasure)
