Can you work out the main features of a
religious upbringing from the picture
clues?
Try to give a little bit of detail
about each one.
During BAPTISM
the child is
welcomed into the
Church. Godparents,
friends and the
congregation
promise to be a good
Christian example
for the developing
child.
Praying at home
and going to
Church are a big
part of a
Christian
upbringing.
By going to
Church regularly
the majority of
people the young
person will meet
will have a belief
in God.
Christian parents will
often choose a Church
school.
They will also often send
their child to Sunday
School usually held at
their Church.
Parents will also often
educate their children
at home about their
religion.
Christian parents, the
Church and Church
schools will
encourage children to
make a commitment
to their faith.
This is known as
confirmation – the
child confirms that
they want to be part
of that faith.
Churches often
provide social events
to bring the family
and community
together.
EXAMPLES:
Prayer/bible groups,
youth clubs, parties
(to celebrate
festivals).
Grade C
All – Will be
able to list the
main features
of a Christian
upbringing.
Look at each feature of a religious upbringing.
How might this influence a child to start,
or continue to believe in God?
Working in PAIRS comment on how
each feature of a religious upbringing
might influence a child.
Children are started out
in life religious.
The decision to be
religious is made for
them.
The child is now part of
the church community
and this can further
influence them.
The majority of
people the young
person will meet
will be religious
and this will
encourage their
developing faith.
Seeing so many
people worshipping
God when they go
to church will
make them believe
God exists.
Church school continues
to surround the child
with a strong sense of
community that all
believe the same thing.
They will be taught that
God exists when they go
to Sunday school, or
Church school, and will
believe because their
teachers tell them its
true.
The young
person can now
confirm for
themselves the
promises made
by their parents
during their
baptism.
A sense of
belonging helps
the young person
to express their
faith and build
friendships with
other people of a
similar age that
believe the same
thing.
Grade B
Most – Will be
able to explain
how these
features may
lead to, or
support a belief
in God.

parents and children can join in
religious activities together.

what is RIGHT and WRONG and good
morals.
Gives children a sense of belonging
and community, giving them

Children are brought up following a
religion they have not chosen
themselves.

freedom of religion.
Can reinforce and continue religious
prejudices which are harmful to
society.
