ABSTRACT

Packed with ideas for the primary school teacher, this book includes stories, songs and drama activities from six major world religions: Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism. The book is helpfully split into topic areas which include:

  • New Beginnings
  • Places of Worship
  • Friends
  • Festivals
  • Rites of Passage
  • Water Themes
  • Animals and Birds
  • Inspirational Leaders.

There is also a useful section on background information with pronunciation guides for teachers for the different world religions featured.

Multi-faith Activity Assemblies combines Elizabeth Peirce's previous books, Activity Assemblies for Christian Collective Worship 5-11 and Activity Assemblies for Multi-racial Schools 5-11. Taking the best ideas from both and adding new material, it will be invaluable to headteachers, deputy headteachers, primary school teachers or any trainee teacher who is looking for a collection of assembly ideas that promotes tolerance and understanding of the multi-faith society in which we live.
