what are stations?
During each day of Vacation Bible School, the children in their groups go to different stations. Everyone starts off together for the opening. Then the groups leave to go to stations. They go to two different stations before coming back together to watch a Skit. Then the groups go to another two stations. At the end of the day, they come back together for the closing. These tabs explain the stations and what each station is doing for each day. The stations are Bible Story, Crafts, Games, and Snack. Bible Story, Crafts, and Games are split up into Elementary and Preschool.
