Can the Concordia Publishing House VBS be used as a same-age (traditional format) program?
There are several ways you can use our VBS materials in same-age groups. NOTE: Remember, preschoolers are not included in these small groups. They explore VBS in the comfort and safety of their own preschool groups. • Assign kids to same-age small groups and same-age rotation groups. Let kids experience learning in same-age groups by assigning them to small groups with others of similar ages. For example, a small group might include 3-6 first and second graders with a teen or adult leader. When you assign small groups to a group that goes through the rotation sites together, a Rotation Group, put all the groups with kids of the same age together. Each Rotation Group can have up to 30 children in five small groups. Doing this lets children of the same age rotate to each site together so site leaders can adapt their activities to fit younger or older children. Most Leader Guides give adaptation ideas for older or younger children. This is a more inexpensive way to accomplish your goal si
