Short Description

Bring the lesson to life with hands-on interactive activities that encourage students to cut, fold, lift, turn, and explore while learning about key events and teachings from the life of Zoroaster.

Interactive Components Description

Help students deepen their understanding of the lesson through hands-on activities designed to encourage movement, participation, discussion, and reflection.

This Interactive Components resource includes five lesson-connected activities using lift-the-flaps, opening doors, turning dials, and a moving spring mechanism. Each activity is connected to a specific part of the lesson and gives students an opportunity to interact with the material as they learn.

Students create a two-dial Poll Counter while exploring Ancient Persia, build lift-the-flap speech, thought, and action prompts connected to Zoroaster's message, and assemble three opening doors to explore the choices and consequences described in the story of the false accusation.

Students also create an opening dungeon door while considering what might happen next and assemble a spring-mounted heart activity connected to the king's uplifted heart and vision.

Printable templates, alternative workbook pages, assembly instructions, and photo assembly guides are included to help teachers and homeschool families prepare the activities.
