What About Extracurricular Activities?

Extracurricular activities are a wonderful addition to any program and can be held throughout the year. This is a great time to become closer with your children and enjoy them in new ways. Hikes, picnics, hayrides, trips to museums, or camping out with them are all great ways to spend time learning new skills and building family relationships.

Special award parties can be given for completing Bible memory or a finish your projects party can be held as an incentive to help children complete their projects. It may often take some extra one on one effort on the part of an adult to help some children finish their project. This can sometimes make the difference between a child seeing himself as capable, or possibly coming to think of himself as a loser. Look for opportunities to help your children succeed by helping them to complete their tasks. The program, by design, avoids the idea of winners and losers. Every child, with proper guidance and help, can be a completer with confidence and competence.
