Before you play
Game teaching guide
What children will practise
Get to know four religions in Thai society, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Hinduism, through a key teaching, a festival and a religious leader of each, and link ways of behaving towards other faiths with their effect on society.
What's in the worksheet
4 matching rounds, 4 pairs each - Religion to teaching, e.g. Christianity with love your neighbour as yourself - Religion to festival, e.g. Islam with Eid al-Fitr, Hinduism with Diwali - Religion to leader, e.g. Islam with the imam, Hinduism with the Brahmin priest - Behaviour to effect, e.g. mocking other religions with conflict
How to use it in class
Use in the unit on religions and living together; about 5-6 minutes. - Play rounds 1-3 in teams; for round 4 let the whole class answer together, then talk about things children of different faiths do together at school - If there are pupils of other faiths, invite them to describe their own festival briefly, only if they want to - If round 2 or 3 goes badly, show pictures such as a mosque with an imam or Diwali lamps, then replay - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.
Common sticking points
- Round 1: the Islamic teaching (faith in God and doing good) and the Christian one (love your neighbour) could both fit either, so children swap them; note that here love your neighbour is the teaching of Jesus. If a child objects that Christians also have faith in God, they are right; explain both faiths believe in God and the game simply picks a well-known teaching for each - Round 2: Eid al-Fitr and Diwali are new words to most children and are left to guess last; explain Eid al-Fitr celebrates the end of Ramadan - Round 3: children may link the Brahmin to Buddhism because they see Brahmins at Thai ceremonies; explain Brahmins are Hindu priests
