RELEVANT CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

The best kid's services are both crazy and calm.  In other words, an effective kid's service will have both high-energy and low-energy elements.  This helps you avoid "monotone" which is the culprit behind a boring kid's service.

Here are some of the service elements you want to be CRAZY: 
Opening
Games
High-energy worship songs

Here are some of the service elements you want to be CALM:
Offering
Meditative worship songs
Prayer
Hands on activities
Lesson
Discussions
Parent pick-up

These elements can vary between the two:
Icebreakers
Skits
Video
Bible verse memory

Place these elements strategically and you will hold kid's attention.  You can see more about planning a strategic service flow by clicking here.
