Where do Hindus worship? These enjoyable RE lessons for Year 4 Key Stage 2 children answer this question and many others about Hinduism and its practices. During the included activities, children will explore some central Hindu beliefs and discover ways in which they are reflected in Hindu worship both at home and in the mandir. Pupils will have the opportunity to learn about the aum symbol and what it represents, find out about some of the characteristics of Hindu gods and goddesses, explore shrines and how they are used in worship, and much more.

Each lesson includes a detailed Hinduism lesson plan with a choice of differentiated learning activities, a high-resolution slide show presentation and a range of printable resources including Hindu shrine worksheets and Hindu worship activity cards. There’s even a collection of images and videos on PlanBee’s YouTube and Pinterest boards which you can be used to support children’s learning and to study Hindu worship in even greater detail.
