Awana® Clubs™ for children in kindergarten through second grade builds on the material taught in our preschool clubs. The curriculum takes kids a step deeper into God’s Word while giving unsaved boys and girls regular opportunities to hear the gospel and come to faith in Jesus Christ. After being immersed in solid foundational teaching at the preschool level, boys and girls frequently come to an understanding of their need to trust Christ as their personal Savior while in Sparks®.

Immersing Kids in God’s Word
The Sparks program is firmly grounded in Scripture. The three handbooks feature:

• Basic truths about God, Jesus Christ, salvation and the Bible
• A clear and consistent presentation of the gospel message
• An increased emphasis on Scripture memory over our preschool materials. In three years, a child will learn and review over 65 verses, many of which cover salvation and key Christian doctrine, establishing a foundation of biblical wisdom.

Fall 2010 will mark the completion of our update to Sparks. New handbooks have the same trusted features as the classic handbooks, along with:

• Three new ranks: HangGlider®, WingRunner® and SkyStormer™
• An aviation theme
• A sequential walk through Scripture
• Details about Bible characters told in captivating biographies
• A handbook CD with dramatic biography readings, memory verses and more
• Three new characters – Joel, Chloe and Jacob – to join Sparky

These updates have taken place over three years, beginning with HangGlider in 2008. To find out more about the Sparks update, please click here.

Fun Learning = Results
Sparks club meetings combine learning with fun to create an atmosphere of irresistible excitement for churched and unchurched kids alike. Club meetings are divided into three segments:

• Bible teaching, worship, award presentations and the gospel message
• Small group interaction and completion of Bible-based lessons
• Age-appropriate games on the Awana game circle

Along the way, Sparky, the friendly firefly, and his three friends have many exciting adventures. Sparky encourages kids to learn verses and complete assignments throughout the three handbooks.
