Golden text: Genesis 1:26-31.
— You can also invite him to blow like the wind or do with his mouth like thunder or like animals.
— Show toys that represent animals and try to make sounds like them. .
Understanding the text: All earthly creation was made for man, so God endowed him with his spiritual image, so that he could make correct use of all creation. Notice that God did something special: he “said” to man (v. 28), which never happened with the rest of creation, because if man has his image he needs dignity for a correct projection of his individuality. Now, God did not give man everything to do what he wanted without regard for his welfare, but to administer and care for it correctly. The fact that God created the world for man not only implies making use of it, but also that he must value it and make right use of everything.
Suggestions:
- — It is good for the child to be able to hear phrases such as: “How beautiful is the sky!”, “How beautiful the trees!”, etc.
- — It can move and stimulate the child to imitate the wind and say: The wind moves like me! You can do the same with water or with trees, or clouds, etc.
