Abstract
Abstract This study explored caregivers’ experiences of virtual Godly Play in the United States, South Korea, and the UK during COVID-19 lockdowns. Thematic analysis of thirty-three caregiver surveys and six semi-structured interviews revealed four themes: support/community, intergenerational Godly Play, spiritual maintenance and growth for the family, and the gift of wonder. This study shows that the experience of Godly Play at home during the pandemic benefited caregivers. As the pandemic subsides and we return to child-centered programming in churches, this study highlights the importance of including and equipping caregivers in nurturing their children’s spirituality.
