baha’i children’s class ideas.

learning concepts
God wants each and every one of us to be happy. We must always look for ways to serve others and to bring them happiness and joy. To make this happen, we should not only wish for others what we wish for ourselves, we should wish even better things for them.

activities
story: ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and the expensive coat. Ruhi Book 3, p.57. Illustrates how ‘Abdu’l-Bahá was always thinking of others, and how he preferred to help his fellows rather than indulge himself.
song: “Prefer Your Brother”, Ruhi Book 3, p.56.
craft: Greeting card w/ pressed flowers. Read up on quick flower pressing [more ideas]; a microwave will speed up drying time and, if the craft is well prepared, should allow the children to add the flowers to a greeting card to be given to someone special.

reading/prayer for study
Blessed is he who preferreth his brother before himself. (Bahá’u'lláh)
