What is AWANA ...

Awana is a children’s Bible club whose main emphasis is learning the word of God. The acronym AWANA comes from the first letters of: Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed, derived from 2 Timothy 2:15. Children are grouped by grades into three clubs:

• Cubbies: ages 3 and 4.

• Sparks: kindergarten to 2nd grade.

• Truth and Training (T&T): 3rd grade to 5th grade.

The program for Cubbies consists of Welcome Time (usually a puppet show,) Story Time, Book Time, Arts and Craft, Play Time, and Singing Time. The duration is 1.5 hours. The programs for Sparks and T&T's are arranged into three blocks: Handbook Time, Large Group Time, and Game Time. The duration is 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Large-group Time

The clubbers listen to a Bible message. During the message segment, the clubbers interact with the speaker with questions and answers. Occasionally, the clubbers have the opportunity to share with the rest of the group. When there is time left, there will be a singing segment where the children use songs to worship the Lord.

Game Time  

Clubbers enjoy fun and games on the unique Awana Game Circle. They are divided into teams that compete with each other on individual and group games. They are scored not only for winning the games, they are also rewarded for their team cheering, good sportsmanship, and good behaviors.
