Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Practises basic Buddhist teachings: the four sublime states (metta, karuna, mudita, upekkha), the Five Precepts, the meaning of Makha, Visakha and Asanha Bucha and Buddhist Lent, and the places of worship of each religion. Fits indicator ส 1.1 ป.2/1.

What's in the worksheet

4 rounds, match 4 pairs each - mudita goes with being glad when others do well; upekkha goes with keeping an even mind - precept 2 goes with not stealing; precept 4 goes with not lying - Asanha Bucha goes with the first sermon; Buddhist Lent goes with monks staying in their temple for three months - Islam goes with the mosque; Hinduism goes with the Hindu temple (thewasathan)

How to use it in class

Play in a Buddhism lesson, about 8 minutes, in teams. Before the sublime-states round, give a short scenario such as "A friend wins a prize and we feel glad" and ask which one it is. In the holy-days round, point out on a real calendar which month each falls in. In the places-of-worship round, let children of other faiths describe their own. Play it linked to the class and the scores go into the gradebook.

Common sticking points

- Metta and karuna are the most common swap. Metta wants others to be happy; karuna wants to help them out of suffering. Use the scenario of seeing a friend cry. - Upekkha is the hardest word for Grade 2 and is usually reached by elimination. - Makha Bucha and Asanha Bucha may swap since both involve monks.
