DLTK Bible's VBS guide
F.R.O.G - Fully Rely on God
Five Day Theme
Suitable for children preschool to Grade 3.
This page provides day by day suggestions for a F.R.O.G. theme.
Printable worksheets and more detailed instructions on how to do some of the activities are provided.
You can find a more detailed schedule that can be used as a guide for each day.
Allow time for questions. I've provided a link to help you explain Becoming a Christian that you can use throughout the week or use the extra time on the last day to read it to the kids.
Day 1:Arrival:Since this is the first day name tags is a good idea so the leaders remember names. The first day can be a bit overwhelming for kids, have the kids split into small groups (4-6 kids) right away. In the schedule provided I suggested frog coloring pages for this morning as the kids are arriving. Singing and Story Time:This is a nice time to put the kids in one big group. They'll probably sing louder with a larger group than with a smaller one. The story might be a bit tricky with a large group but it's not too long and if you let them know beforehand that there will be some questions after they might listen better.
Circle TimeThis is a time for small groups. A small group is ideal between 4-6 kids. It you're having VBS in a large area like a gym just split the groups off all over the gym on blankets (keep the small groups the same throughout the day and week). During this time have someone set up the craft at the tables you used for coloring at the beginning.
Craft Time
Snack TimeThemed snacks can be fun but aren't necessary, kids don't really care they just want a snack. Half a cup of juice usually does the trick and finger food snacks are ideal. If you can get volunteers from church to sign up and bring snacks for each day make sure that you tell them how much to make and if there are any allergies (peanut, etc.) Give suggestions of snacks to have (cookies, cupcakes, crackers and cheese, etc.) and don't forget to thank them! Outdoor fun/Activity CentersForm your small groups to each activity or split the group in half and go in two groups, whatever you find easiest with the number of children you have.
Pick up Time (for half day VBS)You can have the kids take home their craft or keep them till the end of the week (to allow for drying time, etc.) You could buy each child a large brown paper bag (the kind with handles on it) and then paste a colored coloring page the kids completed and put their name on it to take home at the end of the week.
