‘Pom Pom Prays About The Virus’ A Fun Writing And Drawing Activity (4 +) - Activity Pack

'Pom Pom Prays About The Virus' is an engaging activity pack designed for children aged 4 and above, which combines writing and drawing to explore feelings and thoughts during a challenging time. The main character, Pom Pom, is depicted as saying a prayer about the virus while resting on her favourite chair, with one eye open, indicating her concern. The activity encourages children to draw Pom Pom in this contemplative state. Additionally, the pack prompts children to illustrate how Pom Pom reacts to the upsetting news stories about the global spread of the virus, which has affected people's daily lives, including the ability to visit loved ones or attend regular classes like Pom Pom's dog class.

The activity pack includes a variety of tasks to help children process their emotions related to the pandemic. One such task is to unjumble words that express feelings such as 'scared', 'worried', and 'upset', and to find these words in a word search, fostering both vocabulary development and emotional literacy. Children are also invited to draw the reactions of Pom Pom's family as they watch the news, and to imagine Pom Pom's prayer for the well-being of everyone affected by the virus. The narrative continues with Pom Pom struggling to sleep due to worry and then finding solace in a church service that shares messages of hope and faith. The pack further includes drawing activities related to biblical stories that Pom Pom's children learn about in Sunday school, such as the miracles performed by Jesus. Finally, the pack concludes with a conversation between Pom Pom and the Naughty Dog, where Pom Pom offers to say a prayer to uplift the dog's spirits, highlighting the themes of empathy and support.
