Godly Play

Godly Play is a movement to influence the Church’s support of spiritually rich practices with children and adults.

The Heart of Godly Play

• Creating Sacred Space
• Building and working in community
• Learning religious language
• Using religious language to make meaning

 A Godly Play session includes a time to:-

• get ready
• tell a story using objects and artefacts
• explore the story more with open questions and discussion
• respond with a free choice using a variety of materials – art… silence… play… writing…
• enjoy a simple feast and sharing
