The Classroom:

VISITING A CHURCH IN THE MIND

This is a whole class activity.

N.B. A visualisation is provided on this site under ‘Church Visit: Preparing for the Visit

- The children need to close their eyes and sit calmly.

- Ask them to imagine they are going to a church. Tell them that their mind is a bit like watching a movie / film.

- Ask them to picture the outside of the church in their mind and to take a picture / still of what they can see.

- The children can share their ‘stills’. The same could be done for the inside.

- Children could predict what might happen in their next ‘movie’.
