Thank you!
Built on the work and ideas of the team at King's College London, this is the second part to a unit introducing students to the pedagogy of CRE.
It guides students to think critically about religions and worldviews, not critically of them.
I've used it with 7, 8 and 9 and students have enjoyed the discussion and the abstract reasoning in each lesson.
This bundle includes my keyword revision game for themes B,C,D
A: Marriage and the Family
B: Religion and Life
C: The existence of God and revelation
D: Peace and conflict
E: Religion, Crime and Punishment
F: Religion, Human rights and social justice.
This is a game I've created for my year 11's. They've been struggling with keywords so this is a fun activity that can be played multiple times with them.
There are differing levels of rules so can allow for differentiation as well.
The cards have been created so that you can print them double sided and the tiles will match up (or print and photocopy 1sided - 2 sided and it should work)
The rules in short are,
Spread the cards out across your table with the keyword facing up
Each player takes it in turn to select a card and guess the definition of the word.
If the player guesses correctly with the reverse of the card they keep the card and add it to their pile.
If they are incorrect the leave the card to the table and put back 3 cards from their hand.
Winner is the person with the most cards at the end of the game.
