Book Synopsis

This colossal collection features 220 new games for children's ministry, daycare or after-school programming! Games are arranged by age (preschool, lower elementary, upper elementary) and by topics vital for kids, like friendship, God's love, Jesus' resurrection, and many other others! All games are indexed by energy level and Scripture. And though all games feature wild fun, each also makes a vital Bible point. Children's workers will always find just the right game for every lesson or ministry need!
