Who can attend?
What does a night at AWANA look like?
AWANA night starts with check-in (5:45pm - 6:00pm). Children earn points for wearing their uniform, attending church, and having their Bible and AWANA book with them. After check-in, the night is broken into three 30-minute blocks of time, with children in age-appropriate groups.
HANDBOOK TIME: This is the time that kids get to say their memory verses from the sections in their handbooks. The handbooks are geared toward different age groups, with the younger children getting the basics and the older children learning verses that help them to understand deeper concepts. Verses must be memorized “word perfect”, which means staying true to what God’s word says, and must include where it is found in the Bible. Children are allowed tow “helps” if they run into problems. They are encouraged to know not only what the verse says, but also what the verse means. Children earn points for verses passed, and when they pass an entire section they receive a reward.
GAME TIME: This is the time to let loose and really have some fun. Dividing the group into teams, the kids compete in some heart-pumping games. Teams earn points for coming in first, second, and third, as well as for following the rules. Extra points can also be awarded for good sportsmanship and listening to directions.
GROUP TIME: Each evening during group time, a leader will teach about a way to apply the Bible to daily life. Then the lesson gets interactive, with question and answer time, games that test what they have learned, or letting the kids give examples of how they would apply the concept being taught.
EXTRA FUN: Don’t forget that many AWANA nights have themes so make sure you check with the schedule so you don’t miss CRAZY HAIR NIGHT!
