Description:
Listening to Children Talking This online, interactive, searchable database contains the answers given by more than 400 children and young people from different religious backgrounds to a range of questions about religions and spirituality. Pupils can search the database and add their own answers to the same questions. 
Resource Support Notes:
This is a moderated resource for young people aged 5 - 18. Classroom activities are suggested and can be downloaded.

This will support teaching the QCA unit 6A: Worship and community - generic


A Year 6 teacher used this online interactive resource as a stimulus to work on different faiths' perspectives on being human and living the good life.

The activity "What would make for a better world?" was downloaded from the website and prepared. Pupils played in groups of four. The class discussed their own responses, and then speculated how people of other faiths (eg, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh) and no specific faith might play the game. Their ideas were noted.


The following lesson took place in an ICT suite, where the teacher demonstrated how to search the online database. In pairs, the pupils then checked their ideas against the authentic comments from young people of the religions presented in the database, and reported back to the class. They then completed the questionnaire with their own thoughts and ideas, which were submitted to the database.
