Check Out These Fun Chronicles of Narnia Activities for The Magician's Nephew!
The Challenge “One day, you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.” (C.S. Lewis) Claire and I are organizing a summer reading project of C. S. Lewis’ classic series, The Chronicles of Narnia. We did this a few years ago when I was preaching at Faith Bible Church and things went very well, including a group discussion of the books at a barbecue dinner party we hosted for everyone involved. That party was a grand success: grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, a large cake beautifully decorated in a Narnia motif, and a scintillating discussion among readers from ages 14 to 82. Well, we’ve decided to ride into Narnia again this summer. We’re inviting people from the church we now attend (Community Bible Church) but since the program is actually self-propelled, we figured a few of our Facebook friends might be interested too. Beginning with this post, we will make available discussion points and questions that might help you, especially if you’ll be reading them with your kids and/or grandkids. What do you say? Are you ready for the adventure? Reading order for the Summer Reading Adventure 1) The Magician’s Nephew 2) The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe 3) The Horse and His Boy 4) Prince Caspian 5) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 6) The Silver Chair 7) The Last Battle Discussion Possibilities for C.S. Lewis’ The Magician’s Nephew You may not need any conversation starters other than the general questions that work the best for any book discussion. Those questions, of course, include the following. Did you like the book? What did you learn from it? Were there any characters, incidents, passages, or even single lines that made an impact on you? Were there things in the book you had questions about or disagreements? What were some of the most memorable things about the book? But if you think any of the questions below might add a bit to your discussion, please use what you like. Questions for Kids (and adults) 1) Why was Digory so sad in the beginning of the book? 2) What kind of animal did Uncle Andrew use for his experiment to send something to another world? 3) What do you think of Digory’s Uncle Andrew? What kind of person is he? 4) Who rang the bell that awakened Queen Jadis? 5) The queen was so selfish and mean that she was willing to destroy her own city and all its people to get her way. Throwing a temper tantrum is an ugly thing right? 6) What is the name of the ruined city that the wicked Queen once ruled? 7) How did Queen Jadis come into London? 8) Polly is willing to forgive Digory and help him even though he got them into a big mess. Shouldn’t we be quick to forgive too and not just blame? 9) What happened at the lamp post in front of the apartments where Digory & Polly lived? 10) How did Narnia come into existence? 11) What did you think of the cabby? 12) What was the horse’s name? What new name did Aslan give him? 13) What special gifts does Aslan give Fledge? 14) What would you do if you had a winged horse? 15) How did Digory’s mother get better? 16) How important was it for Digory to keep his promise to Aslan about the silver apples? Questions for Adults (and kids) 1) Andrew Ketterley and Queen Jadis believe that rules and morals which apply to other people do not apply to superior types like them. Ever see this in real life? 2) Andrew Ketterley wants to mess with magic and change the world, but he doesn’t want to risk his own comfort. Isn’t this true of other social engineers? 3) Digory faces profound temptation twice in this adventure. How does he fare? Can you identify? 4) Evil often masquerades as beauty as it does in Queen Jadis. What do you think about this? What do you think Lewis wants us to recognize? 5) The Queen is described as “terribly practical,” meaning that she has no regard for anything or anyone she can’t exploit for her own ends. We must be careful to be servants of one another, not users of one another. 6) Digory’s mother’s condition “no help in the world.” Isn’t that also true of us and some of our problems? So aren’t you glad there is another world from which supernatural help can come? 7) Aslan’s song was exquisitely beautiful yet Andrew Ketterley hated it. So did the Queen. Can you think of any biblical parallels? 8) “Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.” This observation about Uncle Andrew has wide applications. 9) Aslan requires a confession of Digory yet when that confession is humbly made, Aslan’t grace abounded. Sound familiar? 10) Aslan knows Digory’s sin has resulted in evil entering Narnia and that will mean real trouble. But most of that trouble, Aslan says, will fall on him. What do you think about this? 11) Consider this line: “Aslan isn’t one to make bargains with.” Discussion questions for the other books in the series to be posted as we go. Look for those connected with The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe in just a few days.
"The Magician’s Nephew" is an inspiring magical adventure about the ancient battle of good and evil and a protest against slavery and the unkind treatment of others (and animals), especially those under our power or authority. It is also the prequel to "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."
I co-host a kid’s book club. One of my responsibilities is to come up with an activity and/or craft that goes along with our book of the month. Sometimes I’ve found great idea from a simple Google search. After all, we’ve generally stuck to the classics, or books that are commonly taught in classrooms. I’m actually more surprised when I can’t find anything good. It goes to show how spoiled the internet has made me. I expect it to plan everything for me. When recently, I didn’t find anything I liked for the book “The Magician’s Nephew” by CS Lewis, I needed to come up with my own craft idea. I decided, since I take so many ideas from other blogs, I should share what I came up with. Only fair. What I decided to do was to have the kids make their own green and gold rings. First, I thought we’d make them from air drying clay, but the selection at my local craft shop was disappointing. So I wandered into the jewelry making section, and found this neat wire. Even thought I expected it to be more difficult to work with, it would also look way cooler, and that counts for something. I’ve learned it is always a good idea to test out a project before doing it with a group of kids, so my girls and I tried making rings the night before our book meeting. It was much more difficult than I’d expected. My hat off to jewelry makers who use this stuff. I’d picked a think wire, 16 gauge I think it was. I thought we’d just measure the little fingers, use wire cutters, and pliers to bend. But the pliers also stripped all the beautiful color off the wire, defeating the whole point. So I ended up wrapping the wire around this peg, and precutting the rings, then just passing them out and letting the kids stretch or smoosh them to a good personal fit. Now, in the book it is clear that you shouldn’t touch the rings when you don’t want to go into another world, so we needed a pouch or pocket to keep them in. I like felt for kid sewing projects because it is inexpensive, colorful, and super easy to work with. You can leave raw edges without worry. For my sample I sewed a lion on the front of the pouch for decoration, but brought along fabric glue as well, which turned out to be what most of the kids chose to use to add embellishments to their pouches. I did need to call on other mom reinforcements when a lot of the kids all needed help threading their needles all at the same time, but otherwise the project went well, and the kids seemed to enjoy their little treasures. I told them that when they read a book, any book, it is like they are going into another world, so they should put on their outgoing ring (the gold one if I remember correctly). When they’re all done reading and ready to return to our world, they can put on their green ring.

The Wardobe from the Chronicles of Narnia is such an iconic feature of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe but until I read the 7 books in 2019 I didn't understand its origins. Without giving too much away for those who haven't read the books, The Wardrobe was created from a tree that was grown in our world, from seeds of a tree in Narnia. This particular image of The Wardrobe is from the 2005 film of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and shows different panels depicting stories from The Magician's Nephew (the first book in the series when the seeds enter our world). The quote featured on this print is from the end of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Peter, Edmund, Susan and Lucy have been living in Narnia for many years when they come across a lamp-post and after some debate they decide to go to through a thicket that seems almost familiar but uncertain at the same time. This is when the children leave Narnia and return home. I love this quote!! Of course Narnia is a world full of adventure - but so is our world!

Aslan is on the Move Shirt, CS Lewis Quote Shirt, Chronicles of Narnia Shirt, Lion Witch Wardrobe Shirt, Lion Mug, Magician's Nephew, S39 A great gift for lovers of C.S. Lewis and his Chronicles of Narnia, this shirt features a beautiful quote from the The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, the first book in the Chronicles of Narnia series (depending on who you ask :) ). Mr. Beaver gave this news to the children just as they began their journey: "None of the children knew who Aslan was any more than you do; but the moment the Beaver had spoken these words everyone felt quite different. Perhaps it has sometimes happened to you in a dream that someone says something which you don't understand but in the dream it feels as if it has some enormous meaning -- either a terrifying one which turns the whole dream into a nightmare or else a lovely meaning too lovely to put into words, which makes the dream so beautiful that you remember it all your life and are always wishing you could get into that dream again. It was like that now. At the name of Aslan each one of the children felt something jump in its inside." The quote and photo design were created using sublimation, so it's not a raised image like you see with vinyl designs on shirts.
