The Bible - Big Lesson Bundle!

These engaging and informative lessons provide students with a well-rounded introductory understanding of the Bible. Throughout the sequence of lessons, children understand the structure of the Bible, the content in different sections, and how to find Bible passages through references. Children learn that the Bible can be interpreted from fundamentalist or liberal perspectives. Furthermore, two sections of the Bible are explored in more depth: those relating to the Ten Commandments and the Creation story.

The lessons are best taught in the following order:

1. Introduction to the Bible
2. Bible Structure and Referencing
3. Types of Writing in the Bible
4. The Ten Commandments
5. Respect for the Bible
6. Interpretations of the Bible
7. The Creation Story
8. Human Responsibility

Each lesson contains a comprehensive and colourful Powerpoint (each of at least 15 slides), which guide teachers and students through the learning activities. Challenge activities are provided in order to enrich learning for higher-attaining learners. Where appropriate, eye-catching and helpful worksheets and templates (in both Word and PDF) are also included. Within most lessons, children are asked questions and set challenges to develop their own personal spirituality.

In the past, I have used these lessons with children from across Key Stage 2 - the key learning is aligned with national expectations for RE, and also the content prescribed by most diocese regions.
The resources are suitable for home learning however the first couple of lessons work best if children have access to a physical Bible.
