TeamKID is a recreation-based discipleship club
for three-year-olds through kindergarten and for children in
grades 1-6. There are nearly 7,000 TeamKID registered clubs,
representing every state in the United States. TeamKID clubs also
are in at least 9 other countries.
A TeamKID meeting has five parts with each one flowing into the
next to keep the pace moving with non-stop energy:
-
Warm-up is the opening activity
that begins as soon as the first child arrives at TeamKID.
-
Workout is 30 minutes of energized,
interactive Bible study as children hear or experience a Bible
story, learn a Bible verse, and pray.
-
Stretching is when three-year-olds
through kindergarten or children in grades 1-6 apply what they
have learned in Workout with fun activities from the Activity
Books.
-
Tournament is a time to run, play,
and laugh with 20 minutes of fun games and activities that
reinforce the Bible study.
-
Cool Down is the final 10 minutes
of the meeting and includes refreshments and review of what
they have learned.
TeamKID is designed for children to do more than memorize
Scripture. It helps children understand what the verses they
memorize mean because all parts of the TeamKID meeting focus on
one Bible message. The noncompetitive games, Bible story, memory
verse, refreshments, and conclusion all contribute to help
children understand and apply God's Word to their lives.
TeamKID recognizes each child for attending the
meetings, completing Bible-related work, and bringing friends with
them. Because children earn stickers they can redeem for items in
a TeamKID Store, accomplishments between children are not compared
to one another as it would be if children earned patches or some
other kind of visible reward.
