Primary religious education aims to teach interaction and achieve constructive dialogues with others. Teachers have a responsibility to make classes appealing and learning accessible by taking the age range and cognitive skills of primary school children into account in the planning. Introducing a mixture of alternative forms and systems for teaching may be the best way to achieve this. Approaches from several alternative education systems could be used to expand religious education teaching practices in primary schools. The systems that are to be discussed further here are homeschooling, unschooling, world schooling, outdoor education, online learning, Montessori, Frobel, Amonashvili, and Waldorf. Keywords: religious education, primary school children, alternative forms and systems
