This new series invites children in preschool through to 6th grade to enter into our sacred stories. Based on the Montesorri method, Godly Plays uses a careful telling of scripture stories, engaging story figures and a variety of creative activities to encourage children to seek and find their own answers to their faith questions.

This unique approach to religious education invites children to wonder about themselves, God and the world in a way that is playful and meaningful to them. Godly Play respects the innate spirituality of children and encourages them to use their curiosity and imagination to experience the mystery and joy of God.

Godly Play sessions can be adapted to fit meeting times from 45 minutes to two hours. Each lesson plan includes the story and a complete materials list.

This volume contains ideas for 14 presentations from the Old Testament, including The Flood and the Ark, The Exodus, The Ten Best Ways (i. e. the Ten Commandments) and Jonah, The Backward Prophet.
