Godly Play

Godly Play is a very special way of sharing the Bible stories and teachings of the church. We sit together on the floor in a circle and our Godly Play “Storyteller” shows & tells the children the story of the day in a visual and tactile way, encouraging them to enter into the story for themselves. Once the story is told, the children are prompted with some questions to guide the “wondering” such as “I wonder what part of the story is the most important?” or “I wonder where you might be in this story?”  The questions are not to test that they were listening but to help them think about the story for themselves at think about what it might mean to or for them. The comments that are made by the children are often remarkably insightful, even by the younger children, and the beauty of these stories is that they are suitable for all ages – even adults.
