What To Expect
Game Time
The Game Time is full of excitement and fun. Sparks and T&T clubbers compete on the specially
designed game circle. AWANA games are not only fun, but strive to teach sportsmanship and teamwork. Leaders are assigned to each team to keep the competition friendly and the atmosphere controlled. All clubbers should wear athletic type shoes for Game Time.
Handbook Time
T&T clubbers have the opportunity to recite verses they have studied at home, or receive personal assistance in studying their AWANA handbook at their own pace.
Sparks may recite verses they have studied at home or work on their sections as a group (depending on the age). Sparks working on their section in a group will all learn the same section. If a Spark misses a section they can make it up on their own, or just skip it and go on with the rest of the group.
Cubbies will work on their sections as a group, and all will learn the same section. If a Spark misses a section they can make it up on their own, or just skip it and go on with the rest of the group.
As clubbers progress through their handbooks they earn awards which are to be displayed on their uniform. Sparks and T&T also earn "AWANA Bucks" which can be used at the AWANA store on special nights.
Council Time (Story Time)
During the Council Time, Bible truths are presented in story form. The focus is to communicate the Word of God in a manner that each clubber can understand.
Club Membership
When a child comes to AWANA for the first time, parents are required to complete a Medical Release Form, which will provide emergency information if it is needed. If this form is not completed, the child may not be eligible to participate in Game Time.
Each age group has an Introduction Booklet or Page which is given free of charge to children when they come to club for the first time. Once this has been completed, clubbers have earned the right to become a member.
Club members are required to purchase a uniform and handbook, and to pay dues to be able to continue in the club. Dues may be paid for a full year, which offers a saving over the weekly rate.
The AWANA Secretary keeps a limited supply of uniforms and books on hand and they may be purchased at the beginning of the club night. Handbooks are available in the NIV. Nightly awards are given free of charge as the appropriate sections are passed in the handbooks, but replacements for lost awards may have a charge.
