A non-subject-specific Christmas quiz, featuring 50 well-presented questions, and an answer sheet.
The quiz also includes a word-search (on screen) and a couple of anagram rounds.
The questions are all Christmas-related and not connected to a specific school-subject: it is, therefore, suitable for all teachers, or for form/tutor groups.
Differentiation can easily be achieved by changing quiz group sizes. The quiz is suitable for KS3-5.
Completing and peer-marking the 50-question quiz should take the best part of a 1-hour lesson.
This video worksheet session covers the topic of Buddhist Festivals.
It is a complete lesson that, whilst very flexible, can last for over an hour if needs be.
This lesson is one of a 10-part series of KS3 video-learning lessons for the religion of Buddhism.
You can save money by buying the complete set by clicking the link below.
It is a perfect 'instant lesson' and is useful both to RE specialists and as an emergency cover lesson led by non-specialists: all you need to do is print out one of the included worksheets and run the PowerPoint!
Aside from links to carefully selected videos; this download includes:
-a full lesson PowerPoint Show (.ppsx)
-AfL tasks
-SIX video-learning worksheets (.doc or .pdf)
-A detailed lesson plan (and a slightly amended version for cover teachers)
The worksheets are specially designed 'Video-Learning Worksheets' that structure students' learning whilst they use documentary evidence to research a subject: three of the worksheets are A4 and the other 3 A3 size (all double-sided!).
Our video-learning sessions are also useful for GCSE Religious Studies classes. Since we provide a selection of video-links for each topic it is easy to differentiate for your class: you can even use your own videos in conjunction with the video-learning worksheets provided.
Positive reviews are warmly welcome!

This is a 200 slide PPT, containing 198 philosophical debates, discussions, and dilemmas.

Discussions follow one of four formats, each asking students to move from one side of the room or the other to make their position clear: teachers should then use questioning to foster a debate between students, encouraging them to present reasons for their choice and defend their position.
The formats are:
-Is the statement TRUE of FALSE?
-Whose side do you take?
-Agree or Disagree?
-Which statement is more true?
This resource is great value at £4.99 and cannot be found elsewhere:
-It clearly contributes to your school’s SMSC provision

-It deals with cross curricular issues
Please note: this resource deals with controversial issues, debates and questions that may be deemed unsuitable for younger children. It is designed for secondary school students, but can be easily adapted to younger years with appropriate amendments by their teacher.

This fun philosophy lesson focuses on political philosophy: the branch of philosophy that explores matters relating to politics, liberty, justice, property, and rights. Political philosophy also explores law and how laws are enforced by authorities, the purpose of government, what rights and freedoms it should protect, what form it should take.
Political philosophers also investigate the responsibilities and duties we all have in relation to the state, what duties citizens owe to a legitimate government, and when (if ever) governments may be legitimately overthrown through revolution. This session introduces political philosophy to young learners and refers to important philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
This session is of interest to all teachers working with students aged 8-16 but has a special relevance to teachers of civics, politics, and those covering politics in their school’s PSHE/SMSC curricula. This session explores topics such as:
Different forms of government
The importance of laws
The nature of freedom and ‘free societies’
Human Rights
The nature of utopias and dystopias
The big question asked in this session is “What would a perfect society (utopia) be like? To what extent is creating one possible?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical questions such as:
What do terms like ‘freedom’ and ‘liberty’ really mean?
What qualities ought a good leader of a country to have?
All in all, are we more or less free as a result of living in a modern civilised society?
In our own society, which laws (if any) do you think are potentially unjust?
Students will also analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical claims such as:
“Society cannot function without people sacrificing certain freedoms”
“I would rather live in a tribe in the jungle than in a modern society”
“I can think of ways to improve this society and make it a better system for people to live in”
This session uses our unique format for philosophy teaching resources and features an integrated menu that allows teachers to select from a variety of starter, main, plenary, assessment and end-of-lesson reflection activities.
The file is a PowerPoint Show: no planning or preparation is required, just run the file and the intuitive menu system will make delivering a powerful philosophy session very easy! This resource is suitable for students aged 8-16; due to the flexible nature of the sessions design it can be used for multiple hour-long sessions or as a short stimulating tutor-group activity.
This thought-provoking philosophy teaching resource focuses on applied ethics and explores some of the most important moral issues of our time. Applied ethics refers to the practical application of moral considerations. It is ethics with respect to real-world actions and their moral considerations in the areas of private and public life, the professions, health, technology, law, and leadership.
(Disclaimer: this session does not discuss abortion or matters relating to sexual ethics, reproductive ethics and/or relationship ethics (which will be covered in separate sessions). We have tried to create a resource that allows young learners to explore applied ethics in an age-appropriate fashion; nonetheless, the session explores controversial issues and should be thoroughly vetted by individual teachers before using it with their students to check that it is suitable for their classes.)
This session is ideal for teachers who want to explore moral decision making with students and is of particular value to teachers who want to nurture the moral development of their students (perhaps in an SMSC or PSHE context) and trigger deeper reflections on the fundamental nature of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ and how we can apply these reflections to our own lives; we’ve carefully selected the most significant moral issues and ethical challenges of our age so that young learners can engage in fun philosophical discussions and debates. This session explores topics such as:
The rights of animals
Moral challenges presented by new technologies
Moral and immoral uses of the internet
Ethical & unethical career choices
Medical ethics and moral challenges presented medical technologies
Artificial Intelligence
The big question asked in this session is “What is the most important moral issue in the world right now?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical questions such as:
To what extent is testing new cosmetics and medicines on animals morally acceptable?
To what extent it is morally preferable to use drone weaponry on the battlefield over human beings?
What are our moral duties and obligations to future generations?
When, if ever, is taking a human life the most moral course of action?
This resource is suitable for students aged 8-16; due to the flexible nature of the sessions design it can be used for multiple hour-long sessions or as a short stimulating tutor-group activity.
The file is a PowerPoint Show: no planning or preparation is required, just run the file and the intuitive menu system will make delivering a powerful philosophy session very easy!
This bundle comprises the ideal resources for teaching about Buddhism at Middle School level.
The course specification is based around the British OCR exam specification for Religious Studies (teaching Buddhism) at GCSE level (i.e. 8th, 9th and 10th grade in the US system).
It is the product of many weeks work: I have aimed to make these resources such that every lesson would receive a good or outstanding rating if inspected.
All lesson downloads include:
-A detailed lesson plan: explaining objectives, differentiation, cross-curricular aims, AfL tasks, and an activity timeline.
-A presentation file designed to the highest professional standard.
-Integrated and varied AfL
-A suggested homework task
The course features 15 worksheets, a ‘Buddhist board-game’ template, various ‘knowledge hunt’ activities and also features an IT Suite Lesson. It is designed to be a complete course for the first year of GCSE Religious Studies teaching.
