In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Close your eyes and take 3 deep breaths, breathing in and out three times.

Being with your Thumb. This is the nearest to you. Take time to pray for your family and friends.
The next finger is the pointing finger. Take time to pray for your teachers, doctor, and Priest.
The next finger is the tallest finger. Take time to pray for leaders. They are people who care and protect us. Pray for the police, the Prime Minister and other leaders.
The fourth finger is our ring finger. Take time to pray for help for those who are sick so they can feel better.
Last is our pinkie finger, the smallest finger of all. Take time now to pray for yourself. Tell God what you need.

You will need
Blank 100s grid
Dice
Activity
Closest to 100
This game is played in partners. Two children share a blank 100 grid.
The first partner rolls two number dice.
The numbers that come up are the numbers the child uses to draw an array on the 100 grid.
They can put the array anywhere on the grid, but the goal is to fill up the grid to get it as full as possible.
After the first player draws the array on the grid, they write in the number sentence that describes the grid.
The second player then rolls the dice, draws the number grid and records their number sentence.
The game ends when both players have rolled the dice and cannot put any more arrays on the grid.
How close to 100 can you get?
