INTRO TO SPARKS LEADERSHIP

SPARKS LEADERS

Your kindergarten – 2nd grade children will enjoy three segments of Sparks each week. The unique design and strategy of Large Group Time, Small Group Time, and Game Time combine for an exciting ministry that builds a strong foundation for Sparkies.

LARGE GROUP TIME:

• During Large Group Time, Sparkies can worship and learn about Bible characters through an inspiring message that connects to the Gospel. The following video below is a demonstration of the Large group time in its many variations:

SMALL GROUP TIME:

• During Small Group Time, 6-8 Sparkies meet with a leader to do crafts, memorize Scripture, and pray together. The following video below is about the Handbook:

GAME TIME:

• During Game Time, Sparkies play fun, age-appropiate games and learn to work together as a team. While this segment typically involves games, it can also include art, drama, crafts, and other fun activities that are exciting for kids. The video below is a demonstration of a fun gametime:

Sparks can easily complete one handbook in a 30-32 week Awana year, stretching from fall to spring on a  traditional school year calendar. But what if someone starts in AWANA club in their first grade year? We will simply put them in the Hanglider book so that they can work thru all the books by the end of their Second grade year. This is a schedule of that:
