- Ask pupils in pairs to write a description of a modern-day dilemma where a moral decision needs to be made. Present the 10 precepts, and ask the pupils to make a copy of these rules for everyday living. Ask pupils to prepare, in groups, presentations of their dilemmas and then perform these to the rest of the class, and encourage them to decide what a Buddhist could do in each situation.
- Ask pupils to produce a table to collate some of the information from the dilemmas, and then to answer the question
How helpful are the 10 precepts for Buddhists when having to decide what to do? Ask them to give reasons for their answers.
- Ask pupils to identify what they think is the most interesting aspect of Buddhist teaching they have studied so far and why. Ask them to create a display on Buddhism, focusing on the aspects they have identified.
