Story Resources
These resource packs can be used by teachers, children’s workers and parents to support the Christianity section on the RE curriculum in school or for home schooling. Each pack includes a story trail, wondering questions and creative response activities.
Videos
These are Godly Play style stories, recorded by our Spirituality Officer, Victoria Goodman, to help children engage with Bible stories, wonder about these and what they might mean for them.
Projects
Psalms of Hope
We have created a psalm-writing workshop, which explains to children how psalms work, and gives them a template to create their own psalm of hope.
The workshop is delivered through storytelling and wondering and has an accompanying PowerPoint presentation of images from medieval psalters to inspire children to decorate their own psalms.
The workshop can be delivered by the teacher in the classroom or online, using the story video.
To lead a Psalms of Hope Psalm writing workshop you will need:
- Workshop outline (KS1 or KS2)
- Story video (KS1 or KS2)
- Illuminated manuscripts PowerPoint
- Worksheet (EYFS, KS1 or KS2)
- Photograph of the story scene to aid ‘wondering’ about the story
“The children came up with high quality ideas for writing a psalm for 21st century: Black lives matter, Global warming, corona and deforestation.”
“The children listened well as the lovely visual storytelling kept their attention“
“The storytelling set it out so effectively.“
