- Set your Schedule—determine the length of your event. Break down the schedule according to your kids’ interests, leaders’ abilities, and available resources.
- Plan your Tracks—look around your church at the gifts and talents of your adults. Enlist adults or even older teens to lead tracks. Be sure to enlist assistant teachers.
- Plan your Bible Study—decide if you will use the Old Testament stories, New Testament stories, or both. Determine if you will teach the opening and closing portions of each session.
- Gather your supplies—post lists of needed items. Plan to purchase items that cannot be donated or borrowed from church members or the community.
