Activities and suggestions for what the children will learn

Thanks for Peg for these handouts..


* Sing while going around the room holding hands "Shepherd Show Me - "O Gentle Presence." . the ''Father-Mother God prayer . . . . . (only if you have privacy, of course)


* Devise little games to learn the seven synonyms for God, and for learning that they are different from other ideas of God, such as all-harmonious, good, ever-present, omnipotent, A11-1n-a11; Father-M|other, eternal.


* The children are usually very interested in hearing about healings that the teacher or her family have had, keeping in mind the Manual By-Law about not describing problems graphically.


* One idea each week, explained, repeated, and related to various activities in the class, has a unifying effect. These ideas could be ones like: perfect, deny, creation, kingdom, presence (distinguish from ''presents|), omni, grace, holy, eternal.


* Each child takes home a Sentinel anchor Monitor anchor something that the teacher has printed out for them 1. The Christian Science Hymnal, numbers 397, 208, and Miscellaneous Writings, p. 400
