Online Children's Program

Godly Play Online!

Welcome to Godly Play!

In Term 4 we are finishing our stories from the Old Testament, learning about God's prophets. And then we begin to get ready for Christmas, by telling the stories around Jesus' birth. We can't meet in person with your children, so we are giving you some resources to use at home. Each week we will give you a link to the story being told on Youtube. These clips show Godly Play story tellers telling the same story, using the same materials as we would use in our classroom at church.

After we tell the story, we spend some time talking about it. The Parent Pages below will give you some guidelines to help you talk with your child about the story. Remember, it's not about right or wrong answers, but together exploring what the story means to your child.
 

After we've wondered together about the story, the children work on their own responses to the story. For example, for Creation, you might have asked your child what their favourite day was. If they said, "The day God made the sun and moon and stars!" then they might like to draw or paint the sun, moon and stars. They are free to do whatever they like. We have attached some simple craft activities as options, but please don't think they are tasks to be completed. This is a chance for your child to be quiet in God's presence. It is not about completing the work, but spending quiet focused time. We don't talk to children or distract them during this time.
 

And after the work comes a snack and a time of chatting and praying together.
 

The Parent Pages contain a short version of the story - you might like to use it as that night's bedtime story.
 

Have fun with these resources, and we look forward to hearing what is useful and helpful for you.
 

Please contact Pastor Tiny, Merilyn or any Sunday School teacher if we can help you do Godly Play at home.
