Club Idea: Hoedown Club

-
Set up various games around the room and give the kids time to go to whatever they wanted, when they wanted. Leaders/buddies manned each station.

Some station examples are bowling, corn-hole, knocking down pins, sack races, eating donut off string competition, face painting (buddies loved helping with this).

Teach a “line dance” to Cotton Eyed Joe. It is SO FUN!!  Practice for a while and then dance to it all the way through. If you don’t know it it’s on YouTube.  

Song: Keep our eyes open

Great Visual for Club Talk on Sin

-
Image
During club recently, Katey and her friends were talking about sin and the cross during their club talk. They created this great visual that ended up being so helpful for their friends to understand how sin effects us and how the cross offers us such a beautiful way to live instead! They had 5 boxes- one large box named “SIN”, one large box named “GOD”, one medium box named “ME”, one tiny box named “SIN” and one tiny box named “GOD”. They explained how God created us to live in perfect relationship with Him where we live in Him (put the “ME” box in the large “GOD” box) and where He lives in us (put the tiny “GOD” box in the medium “ME” box). Then, take everything out. They then explained how because of sin (with explanation of sin) it looks like this: put the tiny “SIN” box in the “ME” box and then put the “ME” box in the large “SIN” box. They explained how there is nothing that we can do on our own to get sin out of us and there is nothing we can do on our own to get ourselves out ...

Christmas/Winter Club Game Ideas

  Mixer Q-tip war: Split room in half with tape down the middle. Pass out straws and Q-tips (make sure you test that the Q-tips fit before hand). You will shoot the Q-tips across the line via placing the Q-tip in the straw and blowing. Keep this going for a while and then stop the music and pick a winning side (one with the least amount of Q-tips). 12 days of Christmas: divide the room up into 12 groups (numbers in group vary based on size of club) Each group is a day of the 12 days. Give them some time to think of a motion/dance move that represents their day. Then perform the whole song! Dice Doubles: Have prepared a gift (candy from dollar store goes over great!). Wrap it in MANY layers, including tape! Sit the group in a circle. If you have more than 20, it’s best for multiples circles to play the game. Place the wrapped gift, gloves, a Santa hat and dice in the center (from playing this game with Capernaum many times, I’ve actually learned that one dice with each ...

The Olympics combines many sports, much gear, many medals and many adaptations… so why stick with just one when it comes to club! Go all out in one of your club’s this fall with a Pizza & Donut Olympics Night! Two things are important for the Olympics to occur... The National Anthem and the Olympic theme, preferably from the 2012 Olympics, it was the best year... Begin the night with Pizza Olympics- to get everyone excited, and because who doesn't love pizza? Pizza Olympics:   Order pizza from multiple places ahead of time. Don't tell them you did this though, that would be weird! Have a streamer/ finish line for them to run through as they arrive, making sure you're playing the Olympic theme during this whole experience Everyone cheers, every time Present them with their pizza medal – a win is the paper plate/ streamer medal idea Take a group picture and send them on their way! Donut Olympics: Now just go ahead and set the Olympic music on repea...
