Godly Play Holy Family Story


 Godly Play?
Liturgical colors?
Advent?
Enter a story?

These can be questions that keep someone from embracing Godly Play as a part of their families education.  For those of you who are Believers and also educate using Montessori principles I cannot think of a better fit than GP.  
I want to help you get through any hesitations you may have and help you see it's simplicity and accessibilty as something you are able to incorporate during the holidays and beyond.

Let's start with the Holy Family.

Materials needed: a nativity set (use the one you have) a tray, and a picture/figure of Christ with arms out stretched (more in a hug way than a crucified way)

Now here's what you do with them:




Remember to adapt this as fits your children and situation.  I'd love to hear how it goes for those of you who try it!
