We are looking forward to preparing for Children's Day of Mission Prayer - 11th October.
“Children’s Day of Mission Prayer” - 11th October
- Theme of Sharing and Caring:
- The central theme is “Share the Good News,” which emphasizes sharing, caring, and helping others.
- Encouraging children to think about others and how they can help, even in small ways.
- Inclusivity and Participation:
- The celebration is designed to be inclusive, allowing all children to participate.
- Focus on prayer and solidarity with children around the world.
- Explaining Visual and Sensory Elements:
- Visual aids of globe and coloured candles in hall - represent different continents and the concept of sharing.
- Create a Prayer Space: Visual aids of globe and coloured candles in hall - represent different continents and the concept of sharing. There will also be a donation box.
- Interactive Activities:
- Encourage children to draw pictures of what sharing and caring mean to them.
- Music and Movement:
- Teach children “This Little Light of Mine.”
- Incorporate movements or actions to go along with the songs to make them more engaging.
- Sensory Activities:
- Use sensory bins with items representing different continents (e.g., sand for Africa, water for Oceania) to help children connect with the concept of global solidarity.
- Simplified Prayers:
- Adapt the prayers to be very simple and short, using repetitive phrases that children can easily follow.
- Encourage children to say their own short prayers for other children around the world.
- Parental Involvement: We encourage you to talk to their children about the importance of helping others.
