Leaders and Teachers

#TheCompleteSeries5lessons

Each 'Leaders and Teachers' lesson includes everything you need to teach Key Stage 1 children about the role of religious leaders in communities, including detailed plans with clearly explained teacher input and a choice of learning activities for children, slides, differentiated worksheets, and other printable resources.

#Lesson1SchoolLeaders

In this lesson, children will consider a number of questions about leaders in their school before going on to think about times when they have been leaders themselves.

The colourful slides include a number of questions to prompt in-depth discussion, and the included worksheets challenge children to find out about a range of different leaders in their school.

#Lesson2Responsibilities

What makes a good leader? Challenge your children to consider this and many more questions about the role of leaders and their responsibilities.

The slides explain the responsibilities of some leaders children are likely to have encountered in their local area. Children are challenged to consider why leaders should carry out certain responsibilities, even if they are very difficult.

#Lesson3SpecialBooks

In this lesson, children learn about the teachings of religious leaders as described in religious texts. The lesson starts by focusing on the life and teachings of the tenth Sikh Guru, Gobind Singh Ji, challenging children to consider which of his actions made him a good leader.

#Lesson4GlobalLeaders

During this lesson, children find out about global religious leaders and why they are important. Your children will then be challenged to consider how these leaders help and work with other important people and organisations.

#Lesson5LocalLeadersSpecialBuildings

In this lesson, children will think about places of worship in their local area, including what happens in them and the people who work in them.

The slides explain the special names, clothing, books, and places of worship for a number of different religious leaders. Challenge your children to find out more, then share what they have learned!
