Teaching Christian Citizenship is a resource that can be widely used by teachers of Key Stage 2 children and aims to encourage thought, discussion and debate whilst demonstrating that Christianity provides a strong basis for good citizenship and guidance in PSHE.
Each of the 16 units begins with a contemporary story, which links to a biblical story. These are followed by group and individual activities based around the stories, which include: Literacy (with different activities provided for year 3-4 and year 5-6 children), Drama, Citizenship and PSHE, Circle Time, Prayer and Hymns.
