Vacation Bible School and Youth Group Projects

If you are looking for an activity project rather than a pledge-drive, these are some great ideas to spark education and creativity.

Creating home made greeting cards inspires creative thought and can be challenging enough for older students. If your VBS season has a particular theme we will try to match Group Discount Kits to that theme if possible.


Bible Study:
Have each student choose a Bible Verse to use, then he or she can write an essay or tell about why that Bible Verse is important to them - this encourages each student to really put thought into the meaning of the Scripture and what it means to them. The Verse can either be printed out to paste on the card, or hand written by the students for a personal touch. Decorating the cards is a fun way to spend a day of fellowship for VBS students.

Penpal and Community Outreach
Students can make these cards for friends or family members; VBS faculty, or Christian penpals who can be found from various community pen pal groups. They can make cards to thank firefighters or police, the true "heroes" of our time.

Adopt A Missionary
If your church has active Missionaries, your students can Adopt-A-Missionary and send him or her these lovingly made greeting cards. This will give the students a wonderful opportunity to learn about the area where the Missionaries are, as well as the Holy work each Missionary is going.

Time Capsule
Your VBS group can also create cards to put in a Time Capsule to be opened at read at a later date. Time Capsules are fun projects for students to create as a way to tell the "future generation" all about life in the present, whether it's 1 year or even 5 years in the future! Making cards gives each student a chance to really personalize the Time Capsule, and it can give them an opportunity to create a heartfelt and creative greeting for a future student.
