I teach fifth graders at a Catholic school. To start my religion classes we read a prayer or a few verses from the bible. Each person takes a turn finding a prayer. Very soon we will have prayer week where each individual
student will have a week for prayer. Here are the themes for each day, I will post them just in case, I don't know if you could use this with your first graders:

Monday: Read a prayer from a prayer book or one of your own
Tuesday: Share a piece of religious art, you can find it on the internet and we will show it on the screen (we have a screen that you can show things from your computer

on the screen.) We will discuss the art and what they artist is saying.
Wednesday: Read a passage from the bible (Try not to make it exceed 5 minutes.)
Thursday: Bring in a children's book that talks about relgion. You will have to show the book, then summarize it for us. I will read it to the class sometime on Thursday or Friday
Friday: Search through the church song books in my room. (I asked our church for a few and they gave me some) and find one you like. We will sing it together a a class.

After prayer I give an overview of what we are doing for the day and we read from the book, do activities, and have discussions. Most of my religion class is discussing what we read and how we feel about that.
