The SLT or any educator who is conducting the assembly will address the students positively saying good morning to all. One can start this assembly with the sign of the cross: "In the name of the Father, and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen"
Introduction
Have you ever thought of how other children around the world are going to spend their school day? This morning we are going to start the day by seeing how our friends Tuli who lives in Bangladesh and Josh who lives in England are going to spend their school day.
Ask kids to stop for a few seconds to think about what they saw.
Reflective Thought
In this video clip we saw how there are many common things in the life of children around the world. One of the common things is that all children like to play. On the 20th of November we will be celebrating ‘World Children’s Day’. A game which Tuli plays in bangladesh is tuktuk, Josh in England plays this same game, and he calls it hopscotch and the children like you in Malta call the same game passju. Playing is fun but when we play, and we show respect towards each other playing will not be just fun but it becomes a way in which we grow happy together.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank you for all the children around the world and for all the playful moments. We ask you to provide for those who are suffering from poverty. May all the children be treated with love and respect.
Optional
This song can be used as a conclusion to this special assembly celebrating Universal Children’s Day.
