How do you teach the concept of "holiness" or "clean and unclean" to a five-year-old? Transform your Kindergarten to Year 2 Studies of Religion lessons with this complete, hands-on unit that brings the book of Leviticus to life!

Step into the world of "Living in God’s Family", a comprehensive Religious Education unit designed to save you time and nurture your Early Years students' understanding of community. This unit focuses on the foundational themes of Kindness and Holiness, blending the importance of "God's Rules" with the fun of "Creative Play and Role-Play", while connecting to essential lessons about forgiveness and gratitude.

Packed with "forgiveness circles," "rule book" making and "cleanliness" games, this unit will transform your classroom into a caring community where students don't just learn about rules, they understand them as Little Helpers, Thankful Givers and Peaceful Friends.

What's Inside?

This comprehensive unit is meticulously planned to introduce the concepts of Leviticus with age-appropriate simplicity. You will find:

• 10 Engaging Lesson Plans: Guide your students through the key teachings of Leviticus, from 'What is Leviticus?' and 'Offerings and Sacrifices' (saying thank you), to 'The Importance of Cleanliness', 'Loving Your Neighbour' and the 'Day of Atonement' (forgiveness).
• Curriculum Aligned: This unit supports Early Years learning objectives and General Capabilities. It covers key concepts including Personal and Social Capability (managing emotions, social awareness), Ethical Understanding (fairness, responsibility) and Critical and Creative Thinking.
• Play-Based & Experiential Learning: Foster genuine understanding with interactive activities. Imagine your students creating a 'Rule Book', making 'Thank You Offering Cards', participating in a 'Hand-Washing' station, playing a 'Fresh Start' game and role-playing as 'Priests' helping the community.
• Built-in Assessment & Differentiation: Effortlessly monitor student progress. Use the provided strategies to support learners with visual aids or pre-written prompts. The unit includes formative tasks like the 'Clean and Unclean Animal Matching' game and summative tasks like the 'Love Your Neighbour' poster.
• Spiritual Development: Help students connect ancient laws to their daily lives. Activities encourage them to understand that rules help us live happily together, that saying sorry restores friendships and that God is always with them to guide and protect.

Summative Assessment Task:

Conclude the unit with a holistic assessment where students complete a series of simple tasks reflecting the unit's themes, such as creating a "God is With Us" craft (cloud and fire) and participating in a "Forgiveness Circle" to demonstrate their understanding of community and faith.
