What's a fun way you've got to teach about the major world religions in a one or two days?

Bryan Dibble

Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Zoroastrianism.  This is what Google tells me are the top 8.  We are going to put the religions lessons in with Threshold 7, Agriculture. Unfortunately, we only have a trimester to teach ALL of Big History.  I hate cramming everything into 12 weeks, but that's our lot in life.  What do you do?  Any creative lessons?  Hands on?

    I've got two ideas I've been toying around with.

    1.  Religions tend to have #'s.   Ten Commandments, Five Noble Truths, Seven Pillars, I'd like to create an assignment where the kids have to find the #'s associated with belief systems and then compare and contrast some of the core components.

    2. Once kids have a handle on what each religion believes, have them find a song from modern times that somehow promotes one of the belief systems.   I did this with "You Can't Always Get What You Want" last year.  I'll find the thread.
