Holiday Club and All Age |

'We have used John Hardwick's holiday club material for the last five years and have been so impressed with his inventiveness, strength of Bible teaching, imaginative drama and the way it is so easy to use'
Razzamatazz Robots Holiday Club! is a fun-filled adventure, designed to help children unpack the plan of the Master Designer from creation to re-creation. Containing all the essential ingredients for a successful, easy-to-run holiday club experience in a five-day, two-and-a-half-hour sessions format, the book is packed with practical ideas for songs, opening talks, theme illustrations, crafts, games puppet sketches, quizzes, Bible stories and fun sheets.
Instant Games for Children is brimming with games that are easy to explain and fun to play. All you need to play all 101 games are 14 inexpensive everyday items like ping-pong balls and skipping ropes!
Following the success of Not Sunday Not School!, Eleanor Zuercher has developed a further year's worth of themed material for 3 to 11 year olds, this time based on aspects of the life and teaching of Jesus. Once again, the material is explored through a wealth of creative and interactive activities and, as before, the pattern enables children to feel involved, whatever their age or level of attendance. In addition to the eleven themes covered, there is further material based on the 'I am' sayings of Jesus which is designed to be used for a five-day holiday club programme or a series of one-off activity days. Through the year with Jesus! is also available as a PDF Download.
Alongside the usual mix of creativity, fun, Christian hospitality and thanksgiving Messy Church 2 explores the importance of discipleship, faith development and training for leadership. The material includes many ideas for practical ways to promote a sense of fellowship and community. The book contains a further fifteen units of fun, food, crafts and mess, with a year's worth of material that your Messy Church will love. Messy Church 2 is also available as a PDF Download.
Ideal for special events or after-school clubs, in this book you will find outlines for twelve two-hour sessions, picking up on Christian festivals and special days of the year including Advent, Easter, Harvest and Hallowe'en. Taking the idea of footsteps and journeying through the year, each festival is celebrated with ideas for warm-up activities, Bible basis, ideas for storytelling, drama, music, crafts, prayers and more.
The Starship Discovery Holiday Club blasts off into space to explore five characteristics of Peter, the fisherman and the disciple. The material also introduces five qualities common to Christians today as we follow Jesus.
The world of entertainment has always featured superheroes to inspire and enthral children. The Bible, too, has its heroes, many of whom are children and young people who trusted God and made a real difference in the face of adversity. This five-day programme makes an ideal holiday club, junior church programme or midweek club. Explore the courageous exploits of these biblical junior heroes through themed serial drama, games, puppet shows, activities, songs, and a whole lot of fun!
Although the Ultimate Holiday Club book itself is out of print, we have made the music available in mp3 format - why not suppliment your holiday club with some of these tracks? More information...
Bursting with ideas to draw people of all ages together and help them experience Christian community outside of Sunday worship. The resource book contains 15 themed programme outlines, with ideas for creative art and craft activities, recipes and a family-friendly worship. Messy Church creates the opportunity for parents, carers and children to express their creativity, sit down together for a meal, experience worship and have fun in a church context.
Each of these short sketches requires a handful of actors, simple costumes and everyday props. Entertaining and thought-provoking, the sketches will appeal to all ages and cover a number of special occasions through the year, including Christmas, Mother's Day and Harvest. The book also contains a short practical guide to performing each drama. Ideal for injecting fun into church services, the sketches are also suitable for outreach events, youth work, children's camps and church weekends away.
Many churches, particularly those with small congregations and even smaller numbers of children attending on a Sunday morning, struggle with the traditional model of Sunday school. This book sets out to show that, with a bit of lateral and creative thinking, even in a small church children's work can become vibrant and successful.
For many children, their first encounter with the local church is a school visit. This book provides everything you need to turn that visit into a memorable learning experience. Unlocking the building and the community of Christians it represents, the Living Church project encourages interactive learning through storytelling, re-enacting Christian celebrations, constructing a model of a church, completing activity sheets, and linking to other curriculum subjects.
Although the printed book is no longer available, this title is available as a PDF Download. A fun and flexible resource that has been designed as a biblical ‘story map’ to guide readers on a spiritual journey as they prepare for the Christmas period. Suitable for individuals, families, church-based children’s groups or schools as part of daily devotion or a weekly project, this book, which includes photocopy permission, contains 31 daily reflections, full instructions for building up the story map and suggestions for prayer and activities.
Looking for the perfect illustration for the point you're making? Want a little story that will really clinch what you're saying and clarify and enrich it at the same time? Look no further than Eve Lockett's Tales of Grace. Ideal for those who want to add a little dramatic expression to their sermon or talk, this book is filled with easy and memorable stories to resource anyone speaking on the major themes of Christian life. Grace, forgiveness, friendship, guidance, trust and prayer are just some of those highlighted and each story is accompanied by sermon pointers for four key Bible passages relating to the theme, questions for young listeners and suggestions for visual aids and actions. A godsend for those with little time and too much
