Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed

Activities

The AWANA program at Calvary is fun, exciting, and full of learning about Jesus. We salute our American flag, Christian flag, and Bible each week. We sing songs, and the children learn songs that some of them have never heard. We have discussions about who God is, what He has done, and what He will continue to do. Each child has a book that they go through to learn stories, look up Bible passages to answer questions and learn memory verses. They are awarded an AWANA buck each time they attend. They earn AWANA bucks each time they learn and can quote a memory verse. We have theme nights, such as crazy hair night, inside-out night, etc. Each time they participate in one of these, they earn an extra AWANA buck. If their teacher participates, they earn one for them, too. That means on a given night; they would earn 3 AWANA bucks just for being here.  At the AWANA year's end, they can shop in the AWANA Store. They will have many items to purchase with the saved AWANA bucks. Seeing their faces when they realize how much money they have to go shopping is always so interesting and exciting. Even though the AWANA bucks are a fun way to motivate the children to participate, it is not our primary focus. Our main focus is to teach children more about Jesus and what it means to be a Christian. Yes, we have fun, but they are also learning.

Some nights, we do a craft that is geared around the holiday that might be close. If we do not do a craft, we play games. Our games are geared around working as a team and playing with different children and ages that they would not normally play with. We strive to do our best to incorporate togetherness and love for all, just like Jesus shows His love for all. We have wonderful adult teachers who are more than willing to help these children have fun and learn what God is all about.
