KS2 Courage - The Story of Corrie ten Boom

This lesson is the first in a series of five sessions called ‘Journey of Discovery’ originally written to help pupils consider the key character strengths they might need while learning from home during lockdown. The five character virtues they explore are:-

• courage
• thankfulness
• compassion
• friendship
• hope

This lesson supports KS2 children as they explore and develop the character virtue of courage. Pupils are introduced to the story of Corrie ten Boom who helped Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II and consider how they can face their fears and be courageous, as well as inspire others to be courageous, during these difficult times.
