  6. The word Gurdwara can be split up into two parts. • Guru – Gu = Darkness, Ru = Light • Dwara = House, or Door • So Gurdwara = The house where darkness turns to light, or the gateway to the guru. What is a Gurdwara?

  7. How can you tell this building is special?

  8. A Gurdwara can be used for a variety of things, for a range of people. Three main categories. To get guidance Coming to the presence of the creator (God) in order to listen to hymns or to talk to a wiser person To be part of a community Be in the company of other spiritual people from all ages. Attend kirtan, punjabi, classes, and community activities. To serve God and people To fulfil the Sikh duty of helping others. By sharing in Langar for example which provides free food for all people. Copy these categories

  9. Look at the layout of a Gurdwara on page 84-85 and draw the table below, and under each heading write down what the purpose of the different sections in the Gurdwara is for. Thinking about the final task that you will be completing. You are start taking down some facts and information that you think will be useful.

  10. You are to now write a code on conduct that you would give to others visiting the Gurdwara that don’t know anything about Sikhism and tell them how you would expect someone to behave and act while at the Gurdwara.

  11. Write the top 5 most important things you would tell someone about a Gurdwara if they were going on a visit that they would need to know or do.

Most – Know the concept of the guru and the importance for the guru to a Sikh Some – Know the concept of the guru and the importance for the guru to a Sikh and evaluate this belief in their own lives.

  13. The person that brings you from darkness to light for the Sikhs is the Guru (which literally means teacher) the present guru for the Sikhs is Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Therefore the Gurdwara is the home of Guru Granth Sahib Ji, and at the heart of the temple.

  14. Guru Granth Sahib fact sheet go around the room and find the different facts about the Guru Granth Sahib and fill in your sheet.

  15. Guru Granth Sahib is very sacred for Sikhs and treated with a lot of respect. In your books write down the definition of both sacred and respect and think of examples of things, people, experiences that you feel are sacred and have respect for write down what it is and how you show your respect and that it is sacred. Respect Sacred Dedicated to or set apart for the worship of a deity.

  16. Caring for the guru - Pictionary With the person next to you draw the card, using no words or numbers allowing them to guess how the Guru Granth Sahib Ji is looked after. Once you have guessed write in your book and then swap over. There are 6 all together after each one BOTH you and your partner need to write down what you were trying to draw.

  17. Think of something or someone special in your life, how do you show it/them respect and what could you do differently to make them feel even more special or show how much you respect it. If someone said the Guru Granth Sahib is a book how would you respond to them in order to teach them about its significance?

  20. Imagine you are the captain of the year 6 football or netball team and you are moving onto secondary school but care about the team and want to make sure that the different things that you have put into place are not changed and ruined. So what would you do to make sure that things don’t change? Think and discuss this with the person next to you and write the solution in your book. This is the decision and the choice that the tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji was faced with and therefore he decided the next Guru for the Sikhs would be the Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

  21. Ik Onkar is a symbol that represents a central key concept in Sikhism, and captures the idea of God. Read through the information on the card and add as many labels to your symbol as possible. You have one minute. Swap books with the person next to you and look through their labelling and add anything you think they have missed or detail they could include in order to achieve todays aim.
