Each has a sense of fun and encourages the children to take part, think about consequences and name the relevant Golden Rule. With intriguing titles like 'the jam and pilchard sandwich' and 'the two-headed hyena', each session concludes with a prayer, thought for the day or even a Golden Rules song! Ideal if your assemblies could use more 'pep'!
