Great Advice for Handbook Success from Awana Clubs International

Encouraging handbook completion is one of the best ways to ensure Bible lessons stay in kids’ hearts for a lifetime. The Awana Store is here to help you guide children toward success in club, leading to stronger Scripture memory and more Christ-centered lives. Here are some tips to finish the club year right.

Model good discipline habits at home. When children see that you also participate in regular Bible study, they are likely to value their own assignments even more. Show kids special devotions or reading plans you follow, and talk to each other throughout the week about club and your small group, if you attend one.

Be an active club parent. Take a few minutes each day to review lessons with kids. This shows them you care while helping you monitor their progress. Also, talk with leaders often and volunteer when possible to stay connected and keep kids motivated.

Celebrate handbook milestones. Leaders and parents can offer so much encouragement by recognizing children’s achievements. A small gift makes a big impact. You can also submit the names of clubbers who complete handbooks to be displayed on our special online PowerUP Book Finishers map. What an honor for little ones!
