Attributes: Unity & Charity

Godly Attribute: Unity
Christlike Attribute: Charity & Service
We talked about how we united many different notes into one sound. We discussed how we are also all different people, but we belong to one great family, that started with Adam and Eve. Even though we may like different things or work in different ways, or make different sounds, we are all important parts of this great big family, and just like we want every part of our body to be doing as well as possible, we want every part of our human family, every person we meet, to be doing as well as possible, living with as much joy and love as possible.
Exploration Activities
Then we talked about how every time we help anyone, we are making things a little bit better for everyone, which blesses us too. What we do affects everyone, and to explore that further, we played a game by having the children lay in a circle on the floor. We had each child put their head on the stomach of the person next to them in the circle. One child started the game by saying, “ha”, and the next had to say, “ha”, and we had each try to take a turn saying “ha” without laughing, or else they had to start over. We talked about the gift of a smile, and how that can brighten one person’s day, and they may be just a little kinder to someone else, who may be a little kinder to someone else, and so on.
We also played Ring Around the Rosies, to emphasize that when one of us is hurting, it affects us all as well, and we want every person to be as happy and well as possible, because we each affect and are a part of each other’s lives.
