Godly Play is a creative and imaginative approach to Christian teaching. We often incorporate it into our ‘It’s your’ programmes for KS1, and also offer a selection of lessons to schools throughout the year.

It is used to:

• Create sacred space.
• Teach building and working in a community.
• Learn religious language.
• Use religious language to make meaning.

What does Godly Play do differently?

• Creates a space to develop thinking skills.
• Develops language and communication skills.
• Provides a multi-sensory approach to learning.
• Promotes spiritual growth, with depth and reflection in every session.
• Slows down the pace.
• Provides the tools then stands back.
