This Circle Time Handbook really helps you bring the Golden Rules story books alive for children. Packed full of vibrant lesson plans, it gives lots of ideas on how to use Circle Time, puppets and games to really help children embed the Golden Rules moral values.
There’s even a specially written song to help children really learn to love the Golden Rules. All the activities are placed in the context of a clear developmental framework which shows how an understanding of the Golden Rules underpins the whole moral ethos of a school.
This resource is part of Jenny Mosley’s Golden Rule range.

“Thank you, thank you! I needed this book to realy get across the Golden Rules books to the children. And it’s amazingly clear and beautiful too!”

4 out of 5 stars
This book is essential for use with the 6 Golden rules story books. It has lots of ideas for Circle Time activities and how to get the most from the stories with a class of young children. It also contains photocopiable materials for use with a class. I was easily able to plan a series of lessons based on the golden rules using this handbook.
Review by Arlene (Amazon)
Circle Time –
They are glossy and colourful and each one focusses on a different golden rule using talking animals. The stories are written at a level suitable for a really good Junior Infant level, Senior Infants, 1st and even 2nd Class. Because there is a lot of text and more challenging vocabulary, each page’s vocab could be pre taught to a younger class. I still think the Junior Infants would enjoy as the pictures and story line reel them right in. They would be a great addition to any class library and if your class are following the Golden Rules, these will be another positive reinforcer for them! These books can help utilise that bridge between English and social, personal and health education. You can get great mileage out of these books, using thematic planning and language experience approach-shared reading and writing. Extremely usable as in the teacher can instantly access them without any pre-teaching. The books also come in a A5 and A3 sizes to the larger books are great for individual class level. The smaller books could also be placed on a visualiser for whole class interaction with the pictures and language.
