The first day went very well. We had five kids from the neighborhood come and five from the chapel. Three of the neighborhood kids had to leave early which they were very disappointed about. We had a good time though and the kids listened very well to the lesson. I thought I would show our schedule in case anyone reading this is interested in doing a club in their neighborhood.
Kids Arrive - Decorate name tags
Play Balloon Charades - This was fun, the kids had to pop a balloon to see what they were to act out - they all loved it!
Sing songs - Our God is So Great, Can't get to heaven w/out Salvation, God Loves You
Learn Verse - Genesis 1:1
Lesson - The Lamb chapters 1,2 - This is a REALLY good book that I think all homes with children should own. It explains the gospel very clearly from the very beginning.
Review Game - Build Ice Cream Cone - Each time a child would answer a correct question from the lesson, they would put a felt ice cream flavor on their teams ice cream cone. The team with the biggest cone at the end wins!
Outside Inner Tube Relays - Two teams put on an inner tube and run around a tree and back to their team and pass off the inner tube to the next team mate and so on. They enjoyed this - it was a little hot for it though!
Snacks - Rice Krispy Treats with spinkled animal crackers glued on with frosting. I bought the colored marshmallows and was thinking that they would be colorful rice krispies... stupic me, realized while I was melting them, that the colors melt together - oh well they still tasted yummy! We also had Kool-Aid to drink.
I don't have any pictures from yesterday, but I'll post some tomorrow of today's activities. Today we're doing a lot of things with water balloons - should be fun!

Wow, can we come, too?!
You're doing a great job Marcie.
We love the Lamb book/cd - the Maddens got for the for kids.
I appreciate you schedule and ideas. I'm trying to put together the kid's class A and I are teaching at Ozark. I may use some of this, thanks!
