“We should at all times manifest our truthfulness and sincerity…” ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

Let us start our lesson saying some prayers and continue to work on memorizing the prayer "O Thou kind Lord. I am a little child."

When we are being sincere our words and the things we do, reflect what is in our hearts. Sincerity inspires us to be truthful and faithful in our dealings with others. For example, when we say that we are sorry for something that we have done, we also know in our hearts that we will make every effort not to repeat our wrongdoings. It is through our sincerity that others can see the purity of our hearts and place their trust in us.

“We should at all times manifest our truthfulness and sincerity…”

Hot or Cold

Begin by instructing one of the children to leave the room or to go some distance from the area where the class is being held. After the others hide a small object, for example, a pencil or crayon, he or she is called back in and asked to find the object. The others help by clapping louder and louder the closer the child gets to the hidden object. If the child moves away from the place where the object is hidden, their clap becomes softer and softer. Instead of clapping, the children can call out “warm”, “warmer”, and “hot” as the child who is looking gets nearer to the hidden object. If the child moves away from the hiding place, they call out “cold”, “colder”, “freezing”. The children should be careful not to mislead the friend who is searching for the hidden object; otherwise he or she will lose trust in the others, and the game will become futile.
