First: (5:45pm – 5:55pm): Opening prayer; get the children to repeat after the Spiritist volunteer. As weeks go by the Spiritist volunteers should encourage the children to volunteer for this task. If they don’t want to collaborate we could say we will follow the letters of the alphabet. 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 unfold. The child’s name that starts with the letter B will do the closing prayer at the end of the session.
Second: (5:55pm – 6:15pm) Welcome the children into the session. Say how happy we are to see them there and how important they are for the class. Sing songs together; get the children to remain standing but in a circle.
+++ repeat this song if necessary, as every child should hear their name being sang; this will help the children to feel integrated into the group)
+++ sing other songs from the songs’ list as per attached here.
+++ please find an additional list of songs attached here.
Third: Get them to also sing the following song.
Fourth: Dialog with the children.
Today we are going to talk about the sun; that’s wonderful star!
Who was the fantastic Creator of the sun?
Yes, it was God, Who also Created the moon, all the others stars in the sky and the planets. He is the Creator of everything around the world, includinge us.
Why did God create the sun for? The Spiritist worker can bring pictures and use them ats the same time as the children would be giving their answers.
“The sun provides the earth with light and energy source. It helps the plants to grow and breathe; oxygen for the animals and vitamins for the humans.
The sun makes people happier, with more enthusiasm and energy to do things. It also very good for all the human beings healthy: babies, children, adults and elderly people. How God was magnanimous!"
Fifth: Prepare the class for the history “The sun light”.
Sixth: Conversation about the history
