Vacation Bible School

If you are getting ready to plan a vacation Bible school, then you know that there is a lot to take in. You need to choose a theme, decorate, invite, and it all starts to add up. Here are some tips to making the planning for your vacation Bible school easier.

First, start with your theme. You need to have your theme established in your mind before you begin anything else. Your theme will determine your decoration, the style of your invitations, the scope of your lessons, and the skits you perform. Your theme can be anything, but a good idea is to go with something that is popular with kids at the time you will be having your Bible school. For example, if there is a great outer space movie coming out, then consider using an outer space theme.

Once you have your theme, print your invitations. There will be no vacation Bible school without children in attendance. Plan several events where families in your church can canvas areas around your church to invite children. Consider running a bus to bring kids to the church if they have transport issues.

It is crucial to plan exciting games and crafts for children attending the vacation Bible school. Some children will enjoy games, while others will enjoy crafts. Be sure to include some fun skits in the plan. This will keep the kids coming!

Plan your decorations around the theme you have chosen. Make your decorations colorful and fun. You do not have to spend a lot on decorations, but they need to stand out. If there is someone in your church who can paint, have them pain a backdrop to go with your theme.

With these simple steps, the planning of your Bible school will go much more smoothly. It does not have to be overwhelming if you take it step by step. Sit back, relax, and have fun!
