Thinking about Narnia

Which of the children
did you most relate to?


Lucy, while timid and shy, is braver than she thinks she is!
The youngest child, she is first through the Wardrobe, and is
optimistic, compassionate and a truth-teller.

Susan is mature and respectable, “motherly”… and sometimes bossy.
She is always loyal and faithful.

Edmund begins the story as a mean, spiteful boy.
He is tempted by the White Witch
and betrays his brother and sisters to her.
However he does the right thing in the end.

Peter is brave, loyal and intelligent.
He upholds what he thinks is right.

Who do you think you are most like?
Who would you like to be more like?
Why? What do you like about that character?

What gift would you like to be given? Why?
When the “always winter and never Christmas”
spell began to break in Narnia,
Father Christmas came and gave gifts to the children:

To Peter he gave a shield and a sword.
To Susan a bow and arrows
and a horn to blow when she needed help.
To Lucy he gave a little bottle full of healing cordial
and a dagger to defend herself.

Each gift had its use later in the story, in battle,
in bringing healing, in calling for help

What gift would you like to be given? Why?

Who is ASLAN like?
Who arrived at the same time as Father Christmas?
