Building team work skills in R.E.


By A. King, Lead Teacher of R.E.
 
As part of the year 7 transition unit for R.E., we do a 'competition' based team activity to test prior knowledge and build on team work skills. 

The class is split into teams by the teacher, not friendship groups, so they can build on new relationships being formed. Each team is given a different coloured pen.


Within one minute the team have to share their prior knowledge on the certain religion for that page and write as much of that down as possible. 
 
 
 
 
This continues until all 6 world faith pages have been written on. At the end the prior knowledge is counted and the winning team is announced!! 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is an exciting way of testing prior knowledge of each separate faith and a perfect opportunity for the new year 7's to work as a team with new peers building up trust!
