Kindness - December 6th, 2009

The virtue for this week is KINDNESS.
Specifically, we will talk about kindness to animals.

Story: The Tale of St. Francis

Music: Rhythm Chant with instruments built on animal names and sounds

Song: If An Animal Be Sick (by Joe Crone)

"If an animal be sick let the children try to heal it,
If it be hungry let them feed it,
If thirsty let them quench its thirst,
If weary let them see that it rests."
(from the Baha'i Writings)

Craft:
foamy animal cartoons illustrating animals that are hungry, thirsty, sick, and weary, with self-portraits of being kind to these animals.
