Summer Event Ideas ::Water & Game Day::

::Summer Events::

We have a plethora of kids who want to do SOMETHING with their summer. So instead of hosting a VBS like every church on the block we spread our events out throughout the summer.

This year we've picked a TUESDAY so enjoy our details on TOTALLY TUESDAYS! All these Tuesdays lead up to our grand summer finale -KIDS CAMP 10'! We'll talk about that another time :)

Vision:
We want kids to come to know Christ, friends that encourage them, leader who they can talk to, and to realize that being at church doesn't have to be boring!
Each Tuesday we incorporate a safe check in, provided lunch & afternoon snack, an energetic worship time with motions and music by Hillsong Kids DVD, an interactive object lesson, and of course the MAIN ACTIVITY!

Here’s our Totally Tuesday Line up:
9:30AM - 2:00PM
June 8- Water day/Game day
June 15- Brevard Zoo
June 22- Toy Story 3! In theaters
June 29 U Pick Summer
July 6th - Andretti's
July 13th Slime Time Game Show
I will slowly post some details on each of these Tuesdays! -contact me if you need details sooner to host your own Totally Tuesday...

JUNE 8th- Water Day/Game Day!
Today was our Water & Game Day.
-We rented a blow up slip & slide & purchased some props for the games- all very inexpensive!!
-divided the kids into 4 teams with four team captains (volunteers) & gave them all bandanna's for their team
Our general outline went something like this::
9AM -Check in/ Free time
-welcome from stage/rules/worship/object lesson/meet our captains/divide into teams/take group picture
-then we went outside...
-We had two Game Captains who lead two teams each, in two competitive games & kept score.
-Then some free time on the blow ups! //team leaders supervised blows ups- kids stayed in coned in area// game captains made the lunches
-Lunch outside with everyone// gather back in teams
-10 more minutes of free time then teams go to the other Game captain & played the group game.
-back inside for the team leaders game on stage for extra points!// announce the winner(team Yellow won)
-then snack & free time inside waiting for check out! (2PM)
It was AMAZING! A big success! 28 kids- no injuries - they learned about the belt of truth & standing firm, and they made NEW friends with other kids at church. A well spent Tuesday..
