Showstoppers! by Ruth Wills
Scripture Union's new holiday club sees all the experience of decades producing club programs being built on with new ideas of helping leaders engage children in the Bible. Showstoppers! includes a daily creative arts workshop which will help children explore the day's Bible passage through dance, drama, music, art and photography. Two levels of workshop are given, one guided and one more open-ended, so that leaders with different levels of experience can get all the help they need. These workshops are set in the successful, tried and tested format, and there are options for leaders to choose who don't decide to do the workshops. SU's holiday club programs are all about building relationships, exploring the Bible in small groups, having fun and learning what it means to follow Jesus. Each session is packed with songs, games, drama, Bible stories, jokes and more. Also included in the book is guidance on running clubs, help on training your team, photocopiable resources and help to work out the aims for your club: what do you want to do with your holiday club? Showstoppers! uses five of the Must Know Stories as the biblical material for the week: creation, David and Goliath, Daniel, Jesus' birth and Jesus' death and resurrection. These stories set out God's great plan for salvation. The book is supported by the holiday club website, which gives extra ideas, resources and artwork, as well as guidance on safeguarding children and health and safety.
