Pupils needing extra support

Could use a smaller selection of pre-cut symbols from the Activity: Symbols to help them match each symbol to what the name of God suggests, supporting understanding of what God does; could hold up or point to one of the pre-cut symbols as an alternative to using counters in the Main event.

Pupils working at greater depth

Should ask their own questions about what the 99 names tell people about God, showing curiosity and reflection; should connect one of the names to something from their own experience (for example, linking the protector to someone who keeps them safe); should explain their choices in the Wrapping up, linking their explanations to the meanings of the names and what they tell people about God’s role; could identify similarities or patterns between several names (for example, protector and carer both show God keeps people safe) to explore broader themes within the 99 names.
