10 min. Begin promptly with singing fun songs. End with slow songs, then prayer.

Crafts

Keep your craft ideas simple. Remember to make crafts that will interest all ages both boys and girls. Older children can help the younger children with crafts that are more difficult.

Your local Christian Gift Center will have books full of craft ideas.

This week will vary from theme to theme, as well as, from season to season. Each month's lesson details one of the following:
  • Object  lessons
  • Field trips
  • Special speakers
  • Read aloud stories
  • Other
5-10 min. Announcements & Memory recitation
5 min. Introduce Theme and its meaning Recall story and theme from first week.
20-30 min. Storyteller tells story and applies it to children's lives. Some questions for life application are included in lesson plans. 

Extra time? 
Practice verses, ask questions about the story, apply theme to individuals, introduce visitors, discuss bulletin board.

Dismiss children to groups for follow-up:
K-2nd grades
3rd-6th grades

Lesson plans are provided for each group. 

If your enrollment is high, you may wish to divide the groups as follows:
K-1 grades
2nd-3rd grades
4th-6th grades

Lesson plans may be easily adapted to include the extra group.

5 min. Dismiss children, under supervision, to visit the Odyssey Box. Allow only 10 seconds per child or you could be there all night!
Before you begin the year, meet with your pastor and verify all scheduled Wednesday night cancellation (holidays, church meetings, etc.) Mark a calendar and keep it visible for all Odyssey staff. This step eliminates much disappointment and confusion.
