Lessons
Please note: we are now using the latest Ruhi Curriculum (Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3 – pre-publication June 2011) and therefore the lessons below are ‘old’. There might still be useful craft and art activities in there, so we haven’t taken them off yet.
For most up-to-date lessons, read the blog posts, which report on each lesson shortly after it was taken.
These are the themes and colouring-in pages for the 24 lessons of the ‘new’ Grade 1.
Below: The Ruhi book references (for many of the stories) are for Ruhi Book 3, ‘Teaching Children’s Classes Grade 1’ and Book 3a ‘Teaching Children’s Classes Grade 2’.
“Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom.” – Bahá’u’lláh
Lessons for Children’s Classes – Grade 2 (Ruhi Book 3a)

Note: we are now using the new updated Ruhi Curriculum, Grade 1, Grade 2 and Grade 3. We are currently working our way through Grade 2, check out the actual blog posts for reports on each lesson and any additional material will be posted there. Or check out the Ruhi website for more info on current material.

Wairarapa Bahá'í Childrensclass Blog 
Hey, my name is Armita and i have also a children class here in germany it would be nice if your children class class could send the germans a letter and tell them what they are doing and we would do the same
Sounds lovely Armita! Our class is back in February, as it’s the big long summer holidays now in New Zealand – will be in touch then!
Warmest greetings 🙂 (Was für Altergruppen sind in Eurer Kinderklasse?)
Hi Armita – how are you classes going? Hope you got my email….Look forward to hear more… we’ve started again for this term – this Sunday is a special class to support the Earthquake victims in Christchurch, but maybe next class we could get the children to draw some pictures and send you a note. Happy ‘Ayyam-i-ha!
Leyla, you are an inspiration! Thanks for having all the inspring and creative resouces on Baha’i childrens’ classes posted …. I visit you site very often!
Hoi my dear friend Leyla,
I am going to a planning meeting tomorrow afternoon and I was looking around your blog for some inspiration. Well I sure looked at the right spot. Think I would love to stick you in my pocket and take you along. Your hard work and devotion is amazing.
Big hugs,
Jackie

Dear Leyla, If it’s possible for u, please update the new books for us. I’m in Iran and I would very thankful if u can do this.Thank u very much! 🙂
Hello Anisa – We are using the new lessons for Grade 1 and now Grade 2 – but I don’t create a new worksheet each time anymore, as the new material is so comprehensive – but if you go through the blog posts you’ll be able to see what we do in each lesson (we’re up to lesson 10 of the grade 2 material) – all the best! 🙂
it is a wonderful site, and I am using it too
Cheers Maxine from Brisbane Australia

Hi Leila, It’s me Mama Z. Seeking resources mainly art /crafts and songs for 4-5yr. old. Thinking of a Hidden Gems class. Have great story/virtue books. New experiencfor me.!
Hi Mama Z 🙂 Fantastic – there is a whole curriculum called ‘Hidden Gems’ for preschoolers -it’s gorgeous, ask Erica if she has a copy (there’s 3 folders of it, with teacher and student booklets). All the best Mary – you’re awesome!
Hi Leyla, I’ve just come across your blog while searching for a Baha’i preschool curriculum. How could I get a hold of the Hidden Gems curriculum you mentioned? Thanks in advance!
Hi Kal
We got through our National Assembly in New Zealand years and years ago. I tried to track it down since but it seems to not be published anymore. It came through the Badi foundation in Malaysia … Maybe try your BDS to see if any copies left? Good luck!
I’m using your materials in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It’s so nice to know about your efforts and have these resources. Thanks and happy times for all of you. We are heading into summer soon and I think you are heading into winter soon. Isn’t that weird. Just because we live on a different side of the planet Earth. But we are all on the same time of the development of the planet, the time of Baha’u’llah!
Wonderful Blog, well done…
Thank you so much for these GREAT lesson plans! They are fantastic. I would add this link to the Grade 2 Lesson 2 – easy and beautiful!

How do I find the link to the blog?
Hi Sue – which blog are you after? 😊
Thank you so much for the memorisation booklets for grades 1 and 2. I found them on the http://aotearoa-institute.bahai.org.nz website and they are exactly what I was looking for.I am SO SO SO grateful to both you and Atusa Nemat as they will make teaching our two children’s classes such a breeze this year!
Hi, thank you so much for your website. I always refer here for my Grade 2 classes. Do you have any for Grade 3 ?
Hi Zorah – glad it’s useful, even though I haven’t updated content on this blog for so many years 😉 I did teach some grade 3 classes a couple of years back but have not kept up with blogging. There are many wonderful resources around – maybe have a look at http://aotearoa-institute.bahai.org.nz? Much love for all your endeavours!
