LESSON: 8🔗

Introduction: Introduce to the children - there is no you in you.

Goals: To make the children understand that we are the mixture of desires and identities of others.

Click of the topic: Borrowing sticks to form our identity.

About the topic: First thing we have to understand is that there is no 'you' in 'you'. Whatever you understand or experience or feel as you in you is just some body's reflection in you. If it stays there for a long time you believe it is you and you are possessed by that identity. We pick some identity from mom, some desires from being mom, some desires from being dad and some from friends and society. None of these desires are desires of our own. Whatever we have more, we create our identity out of it. We create a broom of our identity by collecting broom sticks of desires and identity from others. We become imaginary images of others. We tie our broom with a silk thread. Silk thread is our decision making capacity. We make choices based on our desire which leads to suffering. Any choice will only lead to suffering. When we accept the happening the desire, choice and suffering all disappears.

Assessment: • What do we have to understand by you? • Do we have some body's reflection on us? • What are the identities / desire you picked from your mom? • What are the identities / desire you picked from your dad? • What are the identities / desire you picked from your friends? • What are the identities / desire you picked from your relatives? • How do we lose the identity? • Why choosing is suffering?

Activity of the Day: Making a broom of ourselves with the ice cream sticks.

Art of the Day: Draw pictures of wants and needs

Evaluation: Ask multiple questions about the topic so that they can talk about their desires.

Conclusion: Conclude the topic by reviewing the main details.

Materials Needed: Color sketch pens, ice cream sticks.

Explanation: Ask each child to sit at the table and give few ice cream sticks for each child. Ask each child to use sketch pen and write on the ice cream stick about their desires and from whom they picked it from for example I like green because my father's favorite color is green. I hate apple because my mom did not like it. I like Volley ball because my brother is a volley ball champion.

Ask each child to write their desires on separate ice cream sticks. Then tie each child's ice cream sticks together with the “ribbon of choice”.
