Take a Montessori approach to Sunday school by preparing a contemplative environment that engages children in constructive play to experience God. Use story-telling (adapted from Godly play) that engages, provides lasting memory, and supports the spiritual development of children. This open-ended approach can be used to bring deeper meaning to the stories of the Bible and allow children to grasp the elusive presence of God in their lives.
Learning Objectives include…
1. Developing strategies to prepare children to sit in a circle for the lesson as well as having an awareness of crossing into a prepared environment where their play and experiencing God are nurtured. 2. Experience a Bible story told with movements, beautiful language, and teaching artifacts (story is adapted from Godly Play) 3. How to nurture and support children in creating meaningful, personal experiences from the Bible stories
