Thoughts and ideas on the Unitarian Universalist Spirit Play method of religious education, which is grounded in Montessori methods and inspired by the Episcopal Godly Play.

Many Ways to Pray story


This lesson was lovely to build. You are tasked to find images that are such fun to look for--a picture of Ghandi, Jesus, and the Dalai Lama, children praying, Muslims praying, American Indians praying, labyrinth walkers, lotus sitters, etc. A simple white background frames these images, and a simple text about what a prayer was, is, and can be leads you through them.

A friend told me that plastic lamination takes 500 years to break down. So, I have resolved to quit using it. No small feat in children's education settings! But we got the pictures printed at the office supply store onto heavy-duty cardstock, then recycled a set of old holiday cards to provide backing and further sturdiness. A few tidy slices of the paper cutter, and the cards look and feel great.
