Hello, I'm a primary school teacher in religion and I'm soon teaching a class on Genesis (more specifically the creation and Adam+Eve). The kids are around 10 years old.
I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas/methods to teach this (I'm a substitute teacher). While I considered straight up reading Genesis 1,2 I kind of think it's too heavy for 10-year-olds - at least without me explaining every third sentence.
I was considering some kind of roleplay, but I'm not sure if this would be considered blasphemy by some? Considering some of the kids probably aren't Christian (most are lutheran, but definitely some non-religious too). I'm really unsure. I remember we roleplayed some parts of the bible when I went to christian camp, but I'm not sure if it's okay if there are non-christians? Maybe I should stay away just to be safe?
Any ideas? Thanks
