“O Son of Man! Humble thyself before Me, that I may graciously visit thee.” Baháʼu'lláh

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."

Humility is a very important spiritual power that we need to exercise. Each one of us is blessed with a treasure chest of gifts that we can share with others in a way that does not attract too much attention to ourselves. When we are humble we recognize the greatness of our Creator and show respect to all of creation. We try very hard to work together with others and see our differences as strengths. We are open to learning new things and give thanks for the blessings that are showered upon us each day.

“O Son of Man! Humble thyself before Me, that I may graciously visit thee.”

Sometimes I am Tall

Blindfold one child and have the rest form a circle around him or her. In unison they say:

“I am very tall.” (They stand on their toes and stretch as tall as they can.)

“I am very short.” (They squat down and make themselves as short as they can.)

“Sometimes I am tall.” (They stretch up again.)

“Sometimes I am short.” (They squat down again.)

You then gesture to the children, indicating whether they should stand tall or squat down, and they say together:

“Guess what we are now!”

The blindfolded child tries to guess by the level of their voices whether they are “short” or “tall”. Each child should take a turn at being blindfolded.
