Opening Prayer

         First: please question the children what they know about virtues. A virtue is a character trait or quality valued as being always good in and of it. Personal virtues are characteristics valued as promoting individual and collective well being. The opposite of virtue is vice. These are good things our spirit has already acquired through the good work and positive thinking.

         The Spiritist Doctrine and practice Jesus’ teachings enables people to develop their virtues and qualifying them to live a better life.

         Second: Cotton padding should be given to each child for this activity. Please ask them to hold it. Please tell them the story of Little Snow Flake.

         Third: Please talk to the children about the story, the characters and their attitudes.

         Fourth: Please ask the children what kind of thoughts, attitudes and feelings we should maintain in our hearts.

         Please ask them to exchange little amounts of cotton with one another. Please explain to them that when we exchange little amounts of cotton with our colleagues we are giving them a little bit of our virtues and getting some from them. The more love, kindness, forgiveness, attention and care we give, the more we will receive in return. Please mention the Spiritist Doctrine and practice Jesus’ teachings enables people to develop their virtues and qualifying them to live a better life. This is the way for us to progress spiritually.

         Fifth: please distribute a picture frame drawing to each child, so they can draw and write down the virtues studied. Please tell them they can glue colorful cotton in the edges, for examples, which could represent the virtues. They could also cut it out, glue it in a bigger paper and make a poster out of it. If some children are not able to read and write, the spiritist teacher should write down the virtues in the picture frame or in the poster.
