Introduction: Introduce the topic of guilt vs. gratitude. Goals: To make the children aware of the concept of gratitude.
Click of the topic: Guilt Vs Gratitude
About the topic: If you are caught in guilt, we can never feel connected to life. The only way to overcome guilt is to start melting with gratitude. When you accept things as they are you can experience the causeless happiness and blessings. Gratitude is the fragrance than can pervade your inner space and replace the smell of guilt. With guilt it becomes impossible to celebrate life. Guilt sits on our heart like a rock. We become heavy and frozen. It does not allow us to be free to dance, sing, laugh and love. Enjoy every moment as every moment is auspicious. You are who you are. Just be in the moment and unclutch from the past and future. Guilt creates a dent in our inner space but gratitude expands our inner space. Guilt is like being stuck in a whirlpool while surrender is the only way out of the whirlpool. Guilt happens due to reviewing the past incidents with updated intelligence. When we surrender everything to the ultimate intelligence in gratitude, we lose the pattern that we have created from the past and are relieved of the guilt. When we have gratitude we will always have the opinion that the grass on our side is green. We have everything in us. Everything happening around us is precious and auspicious.

Assessment: ● What is gratitude? ● Can we feel happy when we are holding on to guilt? ● Do we feel light if we have guilt? ● What happens when we let go the guilt? ● What happens when we are thankful for the moment?
Evaluation: Evaluate their knowledge on the topic by asking questions.
Conclusion: Accept yourself as you are, totally and unconditionally. The total acceptance will bring about an active and intense relaxation in which your natural intelligence will flower.

Art of the day - Spray or splash painting
Materials needed: White sheet, spray painting brush, poster colors, water
Procedure: Encourage the children to do spray painting or splash painting on the selected picture (picture related to guilt) or on the plain sheet and make designs with that. Give each child the materials needed. Children have to hold the brush with bristles facing down and spray with the other hand.
Inference: If the spray painting is done excessively on the sheet we cannot see the actual picture itself .Similarly guilt in the long run destroys our originality. .

Activity – Speak a lie and do a test
Goals: Make the children understand guilt.
Preparation: Make the children sit in a circle.
Presentation: Explain clearly to the children that we are playing a game. In this game, each child has to utter a few things, some of which are lies and some are truths. The other children have to identify when a lie is being told by observing the facial expression of the child who is lying. All children can take turns and play this game.
Inference: When we are lying, our facial expression will show it clearly. When we do something which leads to guilt we cannot hide it.
