In the last year I've started volunteering at our church's Sunday Club. It's a Unitarian congregation, a mixed age group, from approx 4 - 12yrs old. Some weeks there could be 6 children, others could be 15.
At the moment we typically end up taking the theme of the service or the children's story, and talking about that for a little while and usually draw pictures or do some sort of craft work based on it. Depending on the theme there might be a game/activity that corresponds. There is no set curriculum or even format though, and it's very much up to the leaders (2 per session) to take on what they want and make it their own, but given we only take around 4 sessions per year, it's hard to keep momentum. (I sit in on more sessions as DD, who is 5, is still quite shy and doesn't like me to leave.)
I don't want to be the newbie coming in and suggesting an overhaul new ideas, but I'd be interested in getting some ideas of what other groups do in your work with the children of the congregation?
