Reincarnation II
Opening Prayer
First: tell the children the story called Tina’s Reincarnation. The sentences in bold could be used as an opportunity to explain concepts which are included within the story. If you feel it’s interesting and necessary, you could also include other questions in the tale. The spiritist teacher could write the answers in the panel/board during the narrative.
Second: stimulate a dialog around this topic.
What does it mean to reincarnate? It means to be born again, in a new physical body (born as a baby).
What happened to Tine when she disincarnated?
What did she do in the spiritual world?
What happens when we reincarnate? Our spirit forgets its previous existences, starts a new existence and continues to progress.
How can we make the most of our reincarnation to progress morally? We can make good choices, helping others, getting to know ourselves to develop more virtues.
Please highlight that the physical shape of our body is chosen in accordance with the needs ad objectives of the spirit; his evolutional goals which brought him to this reincarnation.
Third: please invite the children to create their own book about their present reincarnation. This book has 5 pages; plus the book cover. You could use 3 A4 sheets which would need to be folded forming 6 pages. You could then clip it in the middle. Each page should be organized as described underneath. The sentences should be written at the top of each page of the book, so there is space for the child to illustrate each sentence and/or draw within the book.

Observation: the book can be illustrated with drawings as well, if the child wants and if there is more time available for the development of this activity.
