The stories in Brilliant Stories for Assemblies are divided into four sections:

• Cultural stories from around the world
• Religious stories from the 6 main religions
• Moral stories including bullying, birth of a sibling, racism and disability
• Historical stories, linked to the Key Stage 2 history curriculum

The stories can be used at specific times of the year, when issues arise, or whenever you are suddenly called upon to do an assembly! Many can also be adapted for class assemblies or for different key stages. Each story ends with suggested questions, which can easily be rewritten as prayers.

As someone who possesses a large selection of assembly books, Brilliant Stories for Assemblies is still a welcome addition to the collection. Teachers are often called upon to do last minute assemblies, and this is a book that makes that job so much easier for them. Straightforward and easy to read, pupils, regardless of their age, always enjoy a good story. Redbridge Gatherings. To read the full review, click here.
