This thesis examines the religious development in young children engaged in school children{\crq}s messrom activities. The theoretical part describes school children{\crq}s messrom activities at free play time, characterizes guidelines of activities in school children{\crq}s messrom programs, and explores difficulties in value development from physiological, pedagogical anthropology and axiology, philosophy and religious ethics. This thesis also analyzes children of younger school age and studies normal childhood development and phases of development relating to human religiosity. It also includes the issues surrounding today{\crq}s education system relating to religion. The practical part of this thesis is based upon survey research conducted in two elementary schools. The survey subject was directed relating to the meaning of Christian holidays such as Easter and Christmas, preternatural phenomena and the perplexity surrounding death. It emerged from this survey research that the majority of young children are unaware of the meaning of Christian holidays such as Easter or Christmas, that they are interested in preternatural phenomena, and think intensively about death. Three weeks of learning guidelines are presented within this thesis. These guidelines are based on the survey study and cover the religious meanings of Christian holidays, specifically Christmas and Easter, and perplexity surrounding death.
