Have kids and want them to be involved with “Give It Away”? Then you are in the right place! Every mission opportunity laid out on the main page of “Give It Away” includes the age range for children who possibly would be serving with you. This kids page is an additional section with opportunities specifically for children.
Gospel Placemats
Have children who love coloring even if it’s outside the lines? Print off these Gospel centered coloring sheets, laminate them, and give them to a local hospital or nursing home as placemats! This is an amazing way for your little ones to get involved and share the hope of Jesus!
Description: This would be an opportunity for children in Life Groups to be on mission. Parents or Life Group leaders would choose and contact which organization they could bless with these placemats!
Level of Difficulty: PreK-4th Grade
What you will need:
- A hospital or nursing home’s permission to deliver placemats.
- Art supplies and a laminator
- Gospel coloring sheets *Links of options below
- WR flyers with our church service times to hand out to individuals. *If allowed per organization’s policies
Secret Blessing
Have older students who need a way to reach out to others? Try this “Secret Blessing” idea. Have students take secret mission folders to put together and bless someone at school!
Description: This would be an opportunity for older students in Life Groups to be on mission in their schools! As leaders or parents, create a secret mission folder that has instructions inside for your student to bless one of their friends. An example of this would look like sticking a bag of popcorn and service times in an envelope for your student. Your student would then take the popcorn bag with a personal card or service times card and give it to another student!

Level of Difficulty: 5th-8th Grade
