Understanding spirituality for children

This Religion and worldviews video supports teachers in introducing the concept of spirituality, helping children explore nonphysical elements such as thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and connection. It explains how spirituality can mean different things to different people, from belief in a god or higher power to feeling connected to nature, others, or a sense of inner calm. The video highlights the inclusive approach used in the lesson, offering practical ways to introduce the idea through the framework of “stop, notice, connect”.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews resources – spirituality. It helps teachers guide children in reflecting on their emotions, experiences, and relationships, while acknowledging that not everyone identifies with spirituality. The video encourages open, respectful discussion using inclusive language, helping children explore what spirituality might mean to them in a supportive and thoughtful environment.
