Bee Happy!

by Junara Araújo

To be happy is to learn to be happy.
It is not for free.
It is not a gift.
It is not a prize.
It really is a learning process.
You have to take a lesson each day of the week:

Monday: Smile to yourself.

Tuesday: Smile to someone.

Wednesday: Laugh at yourself (we do and think funny things sometimes).

Thrusday: Don't laugh of someone else. If it is too
hard, repeat the lesson before (we do and think
funnier things than the others).

Friday: Give yourself a big hug.

Saturday: Give someone else a big hug.

Sunday: Thank God for your life and pray for the whole
world to be happy like you are.

Make yourself and the others around you glad will make
our planet much better and happier too!

Suggestions to work with this text:
You can ask each child to choose a part of the text, for example could be one day of the week to create an illustration with pictures from magazines or their own drawings. They will put the illustrations or the drawings together with the text to illustrate the idea. You can also try a theatrical activity, which the children will play different phases of a person learning to be happy during the week.
