B – Building Knowledge (Main Lesson Body)

- Tell a story about Jesus helping the poor and sick, highlighting how even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Use gestures and expressions to engage learners.
- Conduct a class discussion using the question: “What small acts of charity can we do today?” Encourage learners to give practical examples from their daily lives.
- Organize a practical activity: learners bring small items (like snacks, stationery, or clothes) to donate, or act out a helpful task in class, showing how to help others.
- Conduct pair work: learners plan a simple act of charity they can do during the week, explaining to their partner what they will do and how.
