Many teachers find the magazines helpful to gauge if students have understood the Big Idea of the lesson, and what it means for each student, as each student can engage at their own pace.

We understand that there are many different contexts in which GodSpace is used, and magazines will not be appropriate or practical in all of these. You can choose from a range of ‘Discover’ activities – magazines are not required to teach a great GodSpace lesson.

There are two options when downloading the PPT slides. One has videos included within the slides, and one does not.

The PPT option with videos has a much larger file size and will take longer to download.

All included videos are available to be downloaded through Vimeo. (This will also allow you to choose the resolution of the video. A higher resolution is a larger file size, and will appear clearer when presenting on a large screen.) Instructions are available here.

Note: Some videos are not included in the PPTs due to single download licensing. Use the link in the PPT to download individually, or find the video via Lesson Downloads. Songs are not included, so that teachers can choose songs for the individual classes.

Within the PowerPoint (PPT) program, there is a notes section with the script. This will appear on the right when presenting the PPT in Presenter Mode.

The teacher’s manual also includes information about what to say when presenting the PPTs.

Most PPT storytelling images also come with a  Storytelling Script which is available to print from the PDF. This includes the text beside a small image of the slide. See example here.

The PowerPoints (PPTs) now include all the activities for each age group. You can see which activities are suited to each age group by checking the icons at the top of each activity.

To streamline your presentation you can delete slides with activities that you are not planning to use. You can also add song music videos using the ‘import’ menu.

If you have more than one class or age group, you may like to make a separate copy of the PPT for each class, so that you can choose different activities for each group.

For more information and a step-by-step guide to adjusting PPTs please see our training videos.

Yes. GodSpace is designed for children with little or no church or Bible experience to introduce them to what the Bible is about and what it says about God, people and real life.

GodSpace takes the Bible seriously and also takes what we know about children seriously.

GodSpace lessons take truths of Scripture that are relevant to contemporary children and use engaging ways and their life experiences to help the children grasp that truth for themselves.

GodSpace is committed to teaching children the truths of Scripture and where practical, to encourage them to encounter the Bible text for themselves. However, we acknowledge that children are not empty vessels to be filled with knowledge, they have their own beliefs, opinions and interests already. GodSpace lessons start with children and their world to capture interest, and move from there to God and a Christian worldview. It’s done by arousing curiosity, introducing fascinating facts, questioning, stories and engaging the group in discussion while presenting the Bible in life-related ways.

GodSpace invites students to unpack what this all means for them, to encounter life with God.
