An activity where children (individually or in groups) look at two different Christian worship songs and talk about how they are different.

Aim is to get children to understand that while forms of Christian worship can be different, they are doing the same thing - worshipping Jesus.

Notebook, hide-the-verbs activity and worksheet included. My year one class loved this lesson - I hid the bossy verbs around the playground and the children had to find them all and do exactly as Little Miss Bossy instructs! We came back into the classroom and they thought of their own , recording on the worksheet, then came up with bossy verb sentences in talk partners. This led very nicely onto our work writing instructions about making Pumpkin Soup (eg. Cut up the pumpkin; boil the soup; blend the soup etc).
