Godly Play: The Basics and Beyond
Learning about God is an essential part of religious education, but
Godly Play also emphasizes the spiritual formation of children and the
adults who work with them. In those moments of crisis that all of us
inevitably face, a sense of God's presence can sustain us and carry us
through. At this day-long workshop, you can learn - or refresh your
enthusiasm for - the basics of Godly Play, and experience the newest
stories and approaches to classroom enrichment from a veteran Godly
Play trainer, Kathleen Capcara.
In the morning, participants will experience a full Godly Play session
with an opportunity to learn some basic storytelling and classroom
management techniques. Included will be ideas about ways students of
all ages can use the Godly Play approach. The afternoon will
concentrate on helping children form a love relationship with Jesus
through the post-Resurrection stories about him in the new seven-part
lesson called Knowing Jesus in a New Way, as well as a few other lessons
from the latest volume of Godly Play stories
