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”.
