Websites, Handouts, and more!

Click below to download and print the Wordless Book Bookmarks.  These can be placed in your Bible and used for counseling a child who wants to receive Christ as their Lord and Savior.  Simply talk through the points and read and explain the verses to the child, following the bookmark suggestions.

Wordless Book Bookmarks

This site has a number of games for children.  You can choose from circle games, dramatic games, quick and easy games, etc.  Some of the games require a lot of movement or an outdoor setting and might not be appropriate for your club time.  Some of these games can be adapted to become Review Games by simply adding questions from the Bible Lesson while you play the game. 

Ultimate Camp Games

Most of the time you will not have time to incorporate crafts into your club time, but if you ever decide to do a party club or simply want to change things up a bit, this is one site you can use with some quick and easy crafts.

If you go to this website, look to the right-hand column under "Memory Verses."  You will see a link for "Memory Verse Games" and one for "Review Games."  These are good resources to use when you are searching for some new game ideas for the Memory Verse.

Memory Verse and Review Game Ideas

This website has many different ideas for ministry for children (mostly snack ideas), but there is a section on discipline that is worth noting under "Teacher Tips" and then "Discipline."

Children's Ministry: Teacher Tips

Here are some visuals to use when explaining the rules for Good News Club.  You can print these out and place them in sheet protectors in a binder, and show them each week at club to go over the rules.

GNC Rules Visual

This website can help with music in the club!!  Simply click on a letter to find a word (such as "Jesus") and the video shows how to say that word in sign language.  You can use these signs in your songs (don't do a sign for every word - but choose a few!).  Children love using hand-motions while singing.  You can even use some of these signs when teaching memory verses!

Sign Language

Zonk is a FUN review game you can play in your Good News Club.  Simply click on the link below to download and print the game cards and instructions. 

ZONK Review Game and Instructions

This website is for kids who might not be able to come to Good News Club - it's a site with a some of the elements from a Good News Club they can watch and interact with!  You can promote this website at your school for those children who cannot attend club.  Also, as a teacher, this website can help you see some lessons being taught (other than Bible Lessons), and might help you study!

MyGoodNewsClub.Com

CEF of SC website has a lot of resources for teachers/volunteers.  This link takes you straight to the site with online teaching tips, materials and promotions (extra resources you can purchase), and other helps. 

CEF of SC Volunteer/Teacher Helps

This is a sample of a Bible Lesson being taught.  The lesson here is of Elijah, but the application points, Gospel presentation, and invitation will be similar in each of the Bible Lessons.  Watch this sample, and listen to how the lesson is structured, and especially how the invitation is given.  This is how you should teach each of your lessons as far as the content goes. 

This is a "fill in the blank" schedule for your Good News Club.  We do NOT recommend you using the schedule in the Lesson Book: use this one instead, and fill in the teachers names and the activity, handing out a copy to everyone involved in the club.  The key is to not have any lag time in between activities, so be sure each teacher knows when their segment is coming up so they can already be walking up to the front, prepared to teach.  The more lag time you have in between activities, the more rowdy the kids will become. 

Good News Club Schedule

This link is for the Jana Alayra music.  You can purchase CD's and DVD's through this website, and if you go to the "Music" tab and click on the album, you can preview the songs on each album.

This link opens a Word document with instructions for the "MC" in your club ("Master of Cerimonies" or the person in your club who starts things off with ENERGY and keeps things going!)

MC Job in the GNC

Clicking on the link below will lead you the CEF Training site called "CMI" (Children's Ministries Institute).  You can watch FREE videos of each of the GNC Bible Lesson series - all you have to do is register (for free!) and enroll in the "Free CEF Curriculum Bible Lesson and Memory Verse Demonstrations" classes.  This is wonderful for all teachers!!
