Godly Play and Older People
Godly Play is a creative and imaginative approach to Christian nurture,
- based on long established, tried and tested approaches,
- uses symbols and objects as well as words
- values process, openness and discovery
- encourages people to make meaning for themselves
- It invites listeners into stories and encourages them to connect the stories with personal experience.
Godly Play is being used with older people in a variety of care settings: nursing homes; residential care; retirement villages; lunch clubs; and with intergenerational groups. It is also used with people who are living with dementia. For more information follow the links on the right.
