This is mental arithmetic with whole body involvment! You will recognise many of the maths suggestions in this booklet as things you already do. With the added dimension of a playchute, the potential for enjoyment in learning with group support increases dramatically. Some of the suggestions with suit Early Years best; most can be adapted for any key stage.

Playchutes in Christian Teaching & Colour and Number Dice Games for Christian Ministry - £4.50 each

Many of the games and ideas in this booklet were suggested to us by people using our regular Playchute Games booklets and adapting them for use in a Ministry context. The playchute becomes a tool to enhance stories, songs and worship and provides opportunties for getting over a more serious message through fun.

Dice games - here we offer several people's ideas on how to use coloured and numbered dice in various ways for teaching, games and worship. Symbolism plays a large part.
