Children are encouraged by age-appropriate, color illustrated memory books that &#8220;move them up the ranks&#8221; as they memorize. They are also awarded special patches that they proudly attach to their AWANA vests or shirts.<\/p>\n<p>But, kids love to come to AWANA because it is just plain FUN!!! Each evening is divided into Game Time, Handbook Time and Council Time.<\/p>\n<p>Game Time &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Individual and team competition takes place through circle games exclusive to AWANA and playground favorites. Every kid gets involved every night and has a chance to unleash his or her energy.<\/p>\n<p>Handbook Time &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Kids work one-on-one with a trained leader to complete assignments in the curriculum materials. AWANA emphasizes memorization and understanding of key Bible verses that show how to know God and walk with Him. A series of awards and trophies reward assignments at every level as kids progress.<\/p>\n<p>Council Time &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Everyone gathers together for singing, announcements, award distribution and, most importantly, a practical Bible message.<\/p>\n<p>Any child can join AWANA at any time during the school year.
