I love being a mum. It’s the best job I’ve had. But it is by far the hardest. I’m always after new ideas and fresh inspiration for playing with and creating fun memories for my children. Play On The Word offers a pick n mix selection of play ideas for you to plan into your week or to have up your sleeve for those hard half-hours when you’ve run out of steam completely!
This isn’t meant to be a formal teaching syllabus – simply ideas to support you as a parent. You can pick and choose what you fancy doing, what will work with your children, how much you want to do, what speed you want to go at. Have a look at my suggestions of how to use the downloads on the resources page.
The central idea of Word-play is that as we play we can incorporate talk and discovery about the message of the Bible and get to know God as we have fun together.
