Adventist Adventurer Awards and Answers/Reading I

The Adventurers Reading Award is awarded to children who read or who listen while someone else reads:

You can send home reading assignments, read the books as part of your worship time during club meetings, or one way I like to do it is have a reading night and have a stack of books for each subject available, assign a parent to read a book from each subject area. The Adventurers can select a book from the pile and the parent can read it. If you have a large group of Adventurers you can break them up and have small groups with each parent and have them rotate or you can have the Adventurers in one group and have the parents trade out. Some other ideas are: have the kids make a book while the story is being read, provide play sets or dress up clothes and have the Adventurers act out the story as it is being read, or put together a puzzle that goes with the story as it is being read. It is great to read stories over again several times or read multiple books/versions of the same story so the Adventurers get the story more than once. The pictures in the Etta B. Degering My Bible Stories are wonderful and the books are available in English and Spanish.

Another idea is to set up a club lending library and let Adventurers check out books that meet the requirements for their class level.

A book on family,
Family is the most important thing; without our families we are nothing. Being a family is about supporting each other, and always trying our best to make each and every family member feel important and needed. Everyone should contribute and help those who need help, because in every family not everyone is born to be rich, and those who are rich should not use their power of being rich to criticize, because you never know what might happen as a result.

Family is about LOVE & SUPPORT.
