Moral choices and sacred teachings
This Religion and worldviews video supports teachers in helping pupils explore how different beliefs influence daily life, particularly when making moral decisions. It introduces key concepts such as morals, guidance and wisdom, drawing on teachings from Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Humanist, Jewish and Muslim worldviews. It explains how many people use teachings—like the Five Precepts, the Ten Commandments, or the Golden Rule—to guide choices and behaviour, while emphasising that followers interpret and apply this guidance in different ways depending on their background and circumstances.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews scheme – morals. It helps teachers build pupils’ understanding of moral frameworks within different worldviews and supports respectful, inclusive discussions. The video encourages critical thinking by showing that moral decision-making can be complex and personal. It prepares teachers to explore wisdom literature and ethical guidance with sensitivity, and to help children link new knowledge to their own experiences and developing values.
