Synopsis

Kids are constantly moving. They can't stay in one place for very long. They want to jump, they want to dance, and they want to get up and go, just about anywhere.

At the same time, they are constantly changing, growing, learning, and taking big steps toward their future. Kids are already moving somewhere, but in the experiences we create for kids, we can be intentional about the direction kids are moving. We can create experiences that move kids toward an everyday faith and a better future. 

 

In Creating Experiences for Kids, you will discover how to create experiences that move kids to hope, discover, care, connect, and feel seen. This comprehensive guide to planning and executing programs kids love to attend will help you learn how to…

  • Host a creative meeting
  • Design the key elements of an experience
  • Craft your message (and help parents reinforce the message at home)
  • Run production (including rehearsals and real-time communication and adjustments)
  • Train, develop, and assess volunteers
  • Build experiences in which all kids can feel comfortable and be themselves
  • …all so kids can discover more about who God is, how much He loves them, and develop a sense of security and confidence to keep moving through life.
