Vacation Bible School Help?

Question

Hey, I'm a first-time VBS teacher. I'm teaching thirteen 5th graders tomorrow. Any good ideas for games or activities? I already have crafts figured out. The theme is: Soaring High [hot air balloons are the 'big thing' the week, too]

any ideas are great, thanks

Answer 1

You'll need to keep them busy! here's a game idea...Divide into three groups and give each a balloon (not inflated), paper and writing utensil.  Group that lists the largest number of descriptive words in the amount of time allowed (you determine that)...wins.

Then to put the activity in VBS terms have some discussion  about how the not-inflated balloon could be a symbol of our souls without Jesus!

Seems that the end of the week should include a friendly water balloon volleyball game!

Good luck!  It'll be fine!
