Five Pillars lesson 3 - Sawm and Ramadan

This is the third in a series of lessons about the Five Pillars and key Islamic beliefs. It was written for Year 5 but easily adaptable. We start with a discussion about our favourite months of the year then look at the Islamic calendar and the month of Ramadan. We listen and watch two clips to try to find answers to our own enquiry questions then there is a quick group activity matching the question cards to the correct answers. We compare the feasting of Eid with the fasting of Ramadan. Children complete a mindmap about what they have learnt whilst trying to avoid temptation.
