It’s nice to watch glimpses of a lesson done with the presence of children around the storyteller. It’s more than skill, it’s about the storyteller embodying the significance of the stories they are communicating.
The discovery of insights from Godly Play actually benefitted me more than I realized. even though the initial prompting was more for children.
Looks like we’ll need to reboot it for the new storytellers and helpers in BLC.
I also thought it looked like the “Godly Play” concept after seeing your clips. If you google Wilderness Box there also is a great concept I want to do with my kids for Holy Week (same line of thought). Anyway, I am starting doing Sunday School for Sudanese children (school beginners) and am realising how unconfident they still are with written stuff. Godly Play is so interactive and engaging and creative- like it’s more real. I have long dreamt about presenting the Bible to our children in a more visual way and kept thinking I wish I could make wooden toys to complement stories. I did not realise what Godly Play was really about whilst in BLC. It seems expensive ;(
Sigrun, I suppose there are creative ways we can work towards without letting “expensive” being a deterrent. But then again, there is a price to pay when it comes to nurturing the next generation. And it’s not about money, it’s about mindsets. Letting it go.
