Helps

2. Parents help their children.
3. Make a list of questions for your pastor prior to arrival. Examples are listed.
4. Leader, give the Adventurers a tour of the church. Then have the Adventurers act as tour guides to the different rooms or areas of the church. Next ask the Adventurers to label a pre-drawn map of the church inserting the different rooms into the correct localities.
5. Invite the pastor and board members to model a board meeting during an Adventurer club meeting. Optional: Role play a board meeting using a child-friendly agenda.
