When kids arrive 20 minutes early to class, capture those early bird moments and get rid of the mindless games that are time–fillers. In The Early Bird Catches the Word, you get instructions for 70+ fun and engaging activities that will exercise your kids' Bible skills, so there's no reason to every use a time–filler again!
Inside these pages you'll find a variety of activities designed for readers and non–readers, for those who have absolutely no Bible skills and those who are fluent in using their Bibles, as well as tapping into a multitude of intelligences and learning styles. Kids can join in as they arrive with minimal instruction, and most of the activities utilize easily attainable supplies or ones that you already have on hand.
This book is the result of feedback form children's ministry workers looking for practical, actionable activities that kids can do on their own or with little supervision. Although each activity is intended for pre–service involvement, they can also be used as part of a lesson or pulled out when service goes longer than expected. This book is 8.5" x 11" and paperback
