To start you off today, I would like to give a brief recap of what has happened up to this point in our story. Peter, Susan, and Lucy are currently on the move in search of Aslan and his army because the White Witch is holding their brother, Edmond captive.

Mr. and Mrs. Beaver are leading the way to Aslan’s camp, in hopes that Aslan can help retrieve Edmond from the evil Witch. In the meantime, the White Witch is chasing after Edmond’s siblings in an attempt to capture and kill them. Watch now as the beavers and humans have an encounter with the Witch’s wolf pack.

Begin clip at 1:11:44. End clip at 1:26:08

(After you watch the clip together discuss the following questions as a family.)


1. If you had to describe yourself as one of the characters in today’s Narnia clip, who would you be and why?

2. At the beginning of the clip, Peter, Susan, Lucy and the beavers were in a pretty dangerous situation when the frozen waterfall broke open and they were swept downstream. What is the most dangerous situation you’ve ever been in?


3. After the humans and beavers get out of the ice-cold water, Mrs. Beaver say’s, “I don’t think you’ll be needing those coats anymore”. Why do you think she says that? What do you think is causing the weather to change from always being winter to now turning into spring? (Possible Answer: Because Aslan is taking control of Narnia which is causing the Witch to lose her power.)

4. Read Romans 8:28

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,
who have been called according to his purpose.”

5. When we read this scripture, how can we relate it to the Narnia clip we just saw? (Possible Answer: Although many things seem to be going wrong (Edmond is missing, the children are in complete danger, they don’t know who they can trust, etc.), Aslan has a plan that will end up with an amazing ending.)

6. What confidence does Romans 8:28 give you about events that occur in your own life? Do you say and believe the same thing when bad times come your way? Why or why not?

7. Why do you think the writer of the Narnia series chose the character of Aslan to be in the form of a lion?

8. Do you know of any scriptures where God is compared to a lion? (Answer: Yes, in Revelation Chapter 5:5, Jesus is call the “Lion of Judah”)

9. Did you know that throughout the Bible, lions represent royalty, majesty, authority, invincibility, fearlessness and bravery. In fact ‘lion’ and ‘lions’ are mentioned more than 100 times in Scripture!

10. Knowing this fact, do you see a comparison between Aslan and God? How do you think the two relate to each other? (Possible Answer: While bad things can happen to us and around us, God is still accomplishing His perfect plan – just like bad things are allowed to happen in Narnia, but Aslan has a plan to save his people.)
