Barnabas in Schools have produced a range of free materials which you can download to support teaching RE, especially for teaching at home.
There are plenty of different ideas and materials… exciting, thought provoking and inspiring resources for you to use in your home setting with children in your care.
Here is a Good Friday activity - WORD SEARCH - An Easter-themed activity that pupils can do at home.

From our Pray for Schools network
“The Lord is close to all who call on him…
He grants the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cries for help and rescues them.”
Psalm 145:18-20 (NLT)
Lord, please provide our teachers and pupils with all
they need during this COVID-19 crisis and afterwards.
Help children at home
to continue learning and to readjust
and catch up when they return eventually to school.
Amen.

Barnabas in Schools have developed and shared a range of resources for Maundy Thursday…
These can be used by pupils studying at home or in the classroom.
There is a poem (on a video link) and some creative activities based on an important meal on the way to Easter, inspired by a Bible reading from the Gospel of John chapter 13, verses 1-15.
You can check out much more from Barnabas in Schools on the link HERE: RE at Home.

Festive (the Further Education and Sixth Forms Initiative) is a Christian charity supporting students. FCG has had a productive working relationship working with Festive over the years, especially on our work as part of the Free Church Education Committee Further Education Working Group activities. You can read more about this work HERE.
Each month, Festive shares a prayer request and so please join with us as we pray for their latest prayer bulletin…
“What a strange time we’re living in! We, like many other organisations, are having to review how we do our work and ministry in light of social distancing and lockdown. For the students we support this is a very confusing and unsettling time. We are releasing some new videos, posts and blogs this week to help guide and support them. Our big message to students is that whilst many things have ground to a halt, the Gospel hasn’t! We are therefore encouraging them to keep meeting as Christian Union’s (CU’s) (digitally), to keep praying and to keep finding new ways to share Jesus with their friends. With this in mind:
Please pray for imagination, clarity and relevance for the Festive social media streams and videos. Pray that God would constantly give fresh ideas that would encourage and inspire the young people who follow them.
Many students are very anxious about the future and uncertain as to how the closure of their schools and colleges will affect their grades. Pray for Christian students to be strong as they rest in God’s good plan for them. Pray that they will be always ready to encourage their non-Christian friends with the hope that they have in Jesus.
Pray for CU’s that they would continue to meet digitally and that they would have creative and Holy Spirit inspired ideas of how to do mission in this season.
Many thanks for your prayers. Yours in Christ, The Festive team.”
