-&amp;nbsp;If the club as a whole earns so many awards during a given time
period the entire club will receive a pizza party.&amp;nbsp; We have worked with
a local pizza restaurant who gives us a discounted price since we order
ALOT of pizza at one time.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Battle of the Levels&lt;/strong&gt;
- For an entire month we told the children about the Kids 4 Truth
website highlighting a different aspect of the site each week.&amp;nbsp; Then we
had a contest to see which K4T level could visit the most areas of the
K4T website- children earned points by visiting the different areas of
the website, doing the K4T daily devotionals, etc.&amp;nbsp; This is a great way
to let parents know what is available on the Kids 4 Truth Website.&amp;nbsp; We
gave the winning level special free coupons to an area restaurant.&amp;nbsp;
(Sonic, McDonalds, Pizza Street, and Subway often times will give free
coupons to churches.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Small Group Challenge&lt;/strong&gt; -
One small group challenges another small group to see who can earn the
most awards during a given time period.&amp;nbsp; The loser usually has to do
something &amp;quot;yuckie&amp;quot; like eat baby food or the loser brings the winning
team icecream, candy or cookies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are just a few ideas we have used.&amp;nbsp; Please feel free to add to this thread with your ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marrena Ralph, ministry coordinator</description></item><item><title>Kids4Truth Activities</title><link>http://equipu.kids4truth.com/forums/thread/190.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 10 Sep 2006 19:11:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a6097ae6-985f-4f12-8ca8-bb265e5d64c6:190</guid><dc:creator>Pastor Monty</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://equipu.kids4truth.com/forums/thread/190.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://equipu.kids4truth.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=55&amp;PostID=190</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;span align="left" id="dnn_ctr371_ContentPane"&gt;&lt;span class="Normal" id="spBody"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma"&gt;We
are putting into our ministry calendar several special activities for
Kids4Truth. A skating event which the entire family is invited to
participate, a Race Day again for the entire family, a one-night camp
out for the boys, and a sleep-over party for the girls. Each of these
activities will &amp;quot;cost&amp;quot; the kids some Depot Dollars to attend. They earn
Depot Dollars each week for attendance, bringing their Bible,
TruthBook, TruthStandard, and for quoting their truths for the week. We
have a &amp;quot;store&amp;quot; they can go &amp;quot;shopping&amp;quot; in during Game Time if they
choose. People in our church donate items to the Depot and we&amp;#39;ve asked
community businesses to donate items as well.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma"&gt;If you have some other ideas for &amp;quot;Special Days&amp;quot;, post it for the rest of us to see.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
