Godly Play

The book "Godly Play" offers a comprehensive concept for spiritual education that addresses children, adolescents, and adults alike. It encourages engagement with fundamental life and faith questions and helps participants develop their own language for these topics. By combining Montessori pedagogy with biblical stories and Christian traditions, it creates a creative and playful approach to religious education. The 24 contributions in this volume invite critical reflection on the Godly Play concept and demonstrate how it can be adapted to the specific needs of schools, communities, and daycare centers in German-speaking areas. Additionally, the book provides practical suggestions for deepening the experience, such as through exploration conversations and the development of new materials. The focus is on dialogue with the child as the central figure in the learning process.
