News time & birthdays.

This week's lesson is revision of many previous  lessons.  If you do not want to use a whole lesson, these quizzes etc., can be inserted into some other lessons.  For instance, the printed notes on the Messengers could be given out in one or more lessons; they can be cut into sections. The first quiz could also be cut into sections.

 The printed notes:-  These are for the children to put in their books/files so that they have a permanent reference.  It is not only for their benefit but it will also show their parents what they have been learning.  This is especially important if the parents are not Bahá'ís and know very little about what we tell the children.  The children could take some notes home each week to prepare for the quiz by reading through the notes, or they could be given a few minutes before the quiz to look through.

 The quiz.   This consists of 35 questions, you can add more if you want. It is on web page 18 and a link to the answers is on that page.  It can be a team quiz or individual answers.  You may like to provide a prize for the winners.

 The picture quiz.  These pictures show the symbols of seven religions.  Can the children decide which is the symbol for which religion?   Afterwards, they could colour them in.   (The symbols representing the Bahá'í Faith are not official, but are widely used.  There does not seem to be a recognised symbol for the Bábí Faith, but some people use a five pointed star, so you could add that if you like.) The answers are on web page 19.

 PICTURE QUIZ.

Here are the symbols of seven of the religions.

 Do you know another religious symbol to draw in the last box?
