Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Know key practices of different religions and the meaning of religious ceremonies, and link four virtues, honesty, kindness, fairness and responsibility, to their effect on society and to solving social problems.

What's in the worksheet

4 matching rounds, 4 pairs each - Teaching to religion, e.g. Five Precepts with Buddhism, Ten Commandments with Christianity, the four ashramas with Hinduism - Ceremony to meaning, e.g. candle procession with remembering the Triple Gem, fasting with patience and sympathy for the poor - Virtue to effect, e.g. honesty with a society that can trust itself - Social problem to remedy, e.g. violence with kindness, abandoning work with responsibility

How to use it in class

Use in the religion and society unit; about 5 minutes. - Play rounds 1-2 in teams; rounds 3-4 have very similar pairs, so play them solo as a quick scoring round - After round 2, invite children who have joined a real ceremony, a Makha Bucha candle procession or a Muslim friend's fast, to share - Extend round 4: children pick a school problem and say which virtue would help - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.

Common sticking points

- Round 1: the four ashramas and the Five Pillars are unfamiliar and get swapped between Islam and Hinduism; recall that Islam's Five Pillars include prayer and fasting - Round 2: the candle procession and chanting have meanings (remembering the Triple Gem, calming the mind) that fit either, so children may swap them; a child who swaps them has not misunderstood, so accept it and say which pairing the game counts - Rounds 3 and 4 reuse the same four virtues; children who get round 3 sail through round 4, but a miss in 3 tends to repeat, so pause to explain after round 3
