Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Help learners (in groups) to explain modes of worship: charity, prayer, song ministration, evangelism, etc.
- Let learners give reasons why we worship: humankind is under the authority of the Creator, we demonstrate that we depend on God for survival, etc.
- Through questions and answers, assist learners to talk about the importance of worship: to get blessings from God, to get closer to God, etc.
- Have children show how they pray.
