Packed with ideas for the primary school teacher, this book includes stories, songs and dramatic activities from six major world religions: Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism. The book is helpfully split into topic areas which include:
* New beginnings
* Places of worship
* Friends
* Festivals
* Rites of passage
* Water themes
* Animals and birds
* Inspirational leaders
There is also a useful section of background information for teachers on the different world religions featured as well as pronunciation guides for some of the songs featured.
Multi-faith Activity Assemblies brings together Elizabeth Peirce's previous books,
Activity Assemblies for Christian Collective Worship 5-11 and A
ctivity Assemblies for Multi-racial Schools 5-11. Taking the best ideas from both and adding plenty of new material, it will be invaluable to any primary school teacher or trainee teacher who is looking for a collection of assembly ideas that promote tolerance and understanding of the multi-faith society in which we live.
