O God! Educate these children. These children are the plants of Thine orchard, the
flowers of Thy meadow, the roses of Thy garden. Let Thy rain fall upon them; let the
Sun of Reality shine upon them with Thy love. Let Thy breeze refresh them in order
that they may be trained, grow and develop, and appear in the utmost beauty. Thou art
the Giver. Thou art the Compassionate.

- 'Abdu'l-Bahá

Quote:
“…in every aspect of life, purity and holiness, cleanliness and refinement, exalt the
human condition and further the development of man’s inner reality. Even in the
physical realm, cleanliness will conduce to spirituality...” Abdul’l-Baha’ Sel of 146-
147.

Example/Sensory:

Puppets
• Puppet doesn’t clean room for days and days…then can’t find favorite toy..
• Puppet is too tired to brush teeth at night
• Dishes aren’t washed.. (no clean dishes) eat on table..table not washed. Eat on
floor. Ants get everywhere. No where to eat..etc..

Affirmation:

Today I will keep myself fresh and clean. I will put my things and my life in order.
With God’s help I am able and willing to clean up any mistake. I will do my share to
keep our home clean and neat.
