How do the co-teachers help the children cross the threshold and get ready for the story? What specifically does the dooperson do? What does the storyteller do? (p. 28-31, 39-41) *
In your own words, describe why we don’t explain to children “what the story means.” What might we risk by this discovery approach and what might we gain? (p. 41-45) *
What are the four kinds of Christian language we use in Godly Play? Give a sample wondering question for each. (p. 46-53) *

In your own words, why do we offer response time (or a work period)? Why don’t we assign specific craft projects? (p. 66-68) *
How is “feast” more than just a snack? (p. 92-93) *
Give three examples of signs that children have become fluent in the language of Godly Play – i.e. that they can use it to make meaning in their lives. Where might we look for signs of fluency? (p. 119-128) *
The five steps of the creative process are: inspiration/break, response/scanning, awareness/insight, development/articulation, and closure (soft or hard). At which step in this circular process do you personally tend to get stuck? (p. 146-149) *
