Pass the parcel
An active way to begin your session.
Wrap up something that all the children can share, e.g. stickers or sweets, together with a label that says ‘When we receive good things, God wants us to share them’.
Make sure the parcel has many layers to unwrap. Play some music and, when it stops, the child who is holding the parcel unwraps a layer. Keep going until the child who opens the final layer reads the label aloud. Then share the gift among the group.
