Prayer

Dear God,

Thank you for helping us to be good online friends, just like the Good Samaritan was a good friend to the hurt stranger.

Remind us to be respectful and use nice words, even if we can't see the other person's face.

Just like the Good Samaritan helped the stranger, inspire us to help others online whenever we can, using our voices for good!

Amen.

Tools to Empower

Virtual Tours: Explore museums, zoos, and other interesting places around the world with virtual tours. These tours can spark curiosity and give you a glimpse into different cultures and environments.

Digital Storytelling: Platforms like interactive storybooks with animation and sound effects can make reading more engaging. Some sites even allow you to create their own simple stories with pictures and sound.
