Beliefs about prophets and messengers

This Religion and worldviews video introduces teachers to the unit “What is religion and how can worldviews change?” equipping them with the knowledge to support children in exploring beliefs about prophets and their significance across multiple traditions. It covers how children investigate the roles of prophets, messengers and gurus in the Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Sikh worldviews, focusing on key concepts like divine connection, promises with God, and how religious figures are remembered today. The video also explains how to guide respectful classroom discussions that recognise different perspectives on shared figures such as Jesus, Jonah and Abraham, while addressing common misconceptions in age-appropriate ways.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews resources – prophets. It simplifies complex concepts, ensuring teachers feel confident and prepared to help children explore belief, leadership and religious identity in the lesson and unit below.
