Godly Play Core Training

Uniting College

Adelaide College of Divinity Campus, 34 Lipsett Terrace, Brooklyn Park


19 January 2017 - 21 January 2017


Event details

Godly Play is a Montessori method of telling Bible stories, using parables, sacred stories and liturgical lessons about religious traditions using simple materials. It is used extensively with adults and children in many settings, from schools to hospitals, churches to aged care facilities.

Godly Play can be a way of preparing children to join the worship life of their congregations as they experience sacred stories, symbols and rites and encounter the religious language associated with worship within the context of our faith tradition.

The Core Training is an intense, three-day course in which participants are immersed in Godly Play practice. Learn and tell a story for supportive feedback and evaluation. In this time two accredited trainers will work with the group to provide information and experience of the three genres of stories in Godly Play, the role of the storyteller, the role of the doorperson, the Godly Play space, materials, response time, spirituality of the child, forming and maintaining a story circle community that is safe, the history and practice of Godly Play and much more.

This course can be taken for credit.
