Godly Play is one of several variations of the Montessori tradition of religious education and has been developed in the United States by Rev. Dr. Jerome Berryman. It is a creative and imaginative approach to Christian nurture. Godly Play is a way of preparing children to join in the worship and life of their congregations as they develop a deeper understanding of stories, symbols and rites. It is also a non-coercive way to encourage children to move into larger dimensions of belief and faith, through wondering questions and open-ended response time.

This Godly Play pedagogy workshop is an introductory of a research initiative on “Godly Play: Arts-based pedagogical research initiative for Christian faith-based school” that is hosted by the HKIEd Christian Faith and Development Centre. The 3-hour interactive workshop introduced the basic concepts and model of Godly Play.
