Religious Symbols

While the Montessori method itself is not inherently religious, many schools view it as a natural part of a child's spiritual and moral development.

This material includes pictures and short descriptions that will introduce children to some of the symbols of 6 religions.

Identify, sort, and classify symbols according to their religion. Then, use the control chart to verify the classification.

Includes the following religions:

  • Judaism
  • Islam
  • Christianity
  • Hinduism
  • Buddhism
  • Sikhism

Each religion includes:

  • title card
  • 6 labeled symbols in a 3-part card format
  • 6 short descriptions

Also includes 1 control chart so that the cards can be checked after they are classified according to religion.

Cards with labels and description cards are approx. 3½" x 3¼", cards without labels are approx. 1" shorter.
