Godly Play
Godly Play is a method of telling Bible stories, or presenting parables or lessons about religious traditions.
It invites listeners into the stories and encourages them to connect the stories with personal experience.
Godly Play is a non-coercive way to encourage children to move into larger dimensions of belief and faith, through wondering questions and open-ended response time.
It is a way of preparing children to join in the worship and life of their congregations as they develop a deeper understanding of stories, symbols and rites.
Godly Play is one of several variations of the Montessori tradition of religious education and has been developed in the United States by an Anglican priest, the Revd Dr Jerome Berryman.
