World Mercy Day is celebrated every year and is expected on November 13th. Many of the questions we ask revolve around the happiness of each of us: How can we be happy by doing things that are loving to others? How can we help the world by doing loving things for ourselves?
What activities should we prepare in our classrooms and what exercises should our students do?
Preparation for the day
We will try to create some questions related to the day and invite our students, but ask yourself questions like:
- Do you remember a time when someone was in love with you?
- A person may have allowed you to go in front of them in line.
- Did your sister call you to ask how your week is?
- A stranger or friend may have helped you in a very profound way.
Many ways to be loved
There are a million ways to offer grace. At a time when the world seems to be in so much trouble, some have begun to take the issue of mercy very seriously!
Why be good?
Some will not accept the idea that loving action is good for the soul. This is a win-win situation that will bring good luck to both the recipient and the performer of this type of gesture. As a simple example, imagine you always have a desk mate that works best. How about setting aside some time to mention it in conversation or via email or chat?
The consequences will be very clear – your classmate will be happy to receive some compliments, and you will feel better about yourself for spreading some joy.
What are “random acts of kindness”?
Schools and teachers should encourage students through them and their peers to do good deeds wherever and whenever they can. The idea behind this is that you don’t need any big plans to be compassionate, just try a little. We need to teach people the skills of grace. We must act with the hope that compassion will be taught and that it is contagious. Activities ranging from recommending loving deeds to turning students into compassionate activists should be encouraged.
How can I be in love?
In addition to using your general knowledge, the RAK website suggests some more imaginative ways to show mercy. Generally these are of three types. The first is personal grace. Some examples are donating old clothes to a charity or writing a positive online comment about the restaurant you like. The second is environmental compassion, which means recycling or organizing a group event to clean up a local park or beach. The third type is less obvious: personal kindness, that is, treating yourself with love. Some examples are setting yourself the goal of walking in nature or complaining. The logic is that by showing mercy to yourself, you will automatically show mercy to the world around you.
What is World Mercy Day?
It is a celebration that takes place on November 13th every year. This day is marked in many countries, including Italy, and draws attention to the extraordinary work of local communities and, in particular, the institutions and individuals in our schools.
How do people celebrate this day? What about our school students? Mercy cards
Well, well being … keep smiling more fun. Creating “grace cards” in the classroom is a common occurrence. These are the little cards you give when you do a good deed to one person – with the message that doing a good deed to another person and “passing” the card is now someone else’s turn.
Ripple effect
Most compassionate experts agree that this has some kind of ripple effect. This means that such an action will lead to more and more. So don’t wait for the kindness that comes looking for you today, go and start a new wave of loving attitudes.
