Our weekly kids club program is filled with excitement and activity. Following the large group opening celebration and lesson time, we break into smaller groups that rotate through six different activity stations: Music/Memory, Craft, Games, Snack, Journalling, & Science. Each activity station reinforces our Bible story and Bible point and lasts 10 minutes- just enough time to settle them down, complete the activity with some discussion time and on to the next activity centre. We have quite a number of kids with a limited attention span and it works well.
Following our closing session, we also provide a cooked meal for the kids. Some of these kids rarely experience a family meal time with everyone sitting down together at the table, so this is a great opportunity to pray & talk with the kids and quietly teach a few table manners. We've found puzzle and activity placemats are a great way to settle the kids for the meal, occupy those who have trouble sitting still and help to teach simple things like the placement and use of cutlery for the meal. You can make your own or use Blunders Manner Mats (38 tear-off placemats) with puzzles and activities as well as questions and discussion points about manners. (Find them here..)
