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 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.

         Second: Story Time.

         Third: Activity

         The children will prepare a child using recycled materials.

         The volunteer will emphasize that we all go to the Jesus School in order to learn how to be good.


         P.S. Instead of chocolate the children will receive a heart with a picture of Jesus to stick in the heart of the toys.

         Fourth: How to use my body to do good things. The volunteer will bring a drawing of the following:

         * Mouth;
         * Ear;
         * Hand
         * Feet;
         * Nose

         The volunteer will prepare pictures showing good things we do with each part of our body, such as:

         * Children saying beautiful things to mum and dad;
         * Children saying Thank you for mum and dad;
         * Children praying in order to thank God for everything
         * Children listening to Jesus’ stories quietly;
         * Children listening to mum and dad quietly;
         * Children listening to teachers at school quietly;
