Kid Talk Leader’s Guide – Week 3Check-In with Pop-Up-Pirate or Jack-in-the-Box: poke a sword in the barrel orcrank three times, pass it on. When it goes off, that child shares from their griefworkabout the funeral or about how their loved one died. (OS pp. 16 and 17. For variety, letthat child choose the child who will share.)My Experience with Death: OS p. 15. This is a difficult page and may be emotionallyloaded. Mister Rogers said making difficult matters mentionable is the best way to makethem manageable. So, here we are together to talk about difficult matters. We ask thatit be done as take-home griefwork so the child can process it with a close adult. Hopefully,the child has been told the truth about the death.About the Death: OS p. 16. This is a difficult page and may also be very emotionallyloaded. We ask it be done as take-home griefwork so the child can process it with a closeadult. Children can handle anything so long as it is the truth and they are supported inlove. We encourage truth telling about the death because children are very intuitive andhave listening ears. Not telling them the truth may create significant trust issues and closethe door to communication in the teen years. We want home to be a place where we cansafely talk about anything, because “we are in this together.” This is the essence of theweekly memo/email for Week 3.Funeral or Memorial Service: OS p. 17. A child may not know dates, and locations.Therefore, it is sent home as take-home griefwork so an adult can help. In later yearswhen grief will inevitably be recycling, this information may be helpful. It can help bringback memories and feelings that need to be worked through with more maturity.Flannel Board: the children love creating a picture of their decedent’s funeral ormemorial service, or of a service they wish they had attended. At this point in time,creating a flannel board is at the facilitator’s discretion. A flannel board and cut-out kitscan be purchased or DIY instructions found on the internet. At some point in the future,we will publish the abstract patterns we use. This is an invaluable activity for a group orindividual work with a grieving child.Butterfly Coloring Pages: see Kid Talk Supply Pantry p. 138.Votive Battery Candles: each child receives a small votive battery candle, a smalldoily, and a square of colored construction paper of their choice. Purchased pre-cutneon colored shapes work also. Print the “We Will Light Candles” poem on Avery 5395adhesive name labels. The poem can be stuck to the bottom side of the constructionpaper square.48
