Why don’t the students work at tables and chairs?
The Godly Play rooms contain shelves full of objects for the children to use-objects that make the images of our religious language come alive. In most churches using Godly Play, it is customary for the children and story teller to sit in a circle on the floor, literally surrounded by our religious language system. The multi-sensory materials used to help in telling the Bible story of the day can then be placed in the center of the circle, symbolizing the fact that God can be present and accessible to everyone-both the students and the teacher. Working in a circle also helps us emphasize many aspects of being together in a Christian community.
