People/kids want to be iNVOLVED. Watching makes spectators. iNVOLVING makes participants.
Watch this stunning T-Mobile Dance showing how people enjoy being involved. While some of the dancers were planted there, notice how many people joined in.
Turn Spectators into Participants
Tell me and I will forget.
Show me and I might remember.
iNVOLVE me and I will GET it!
Jesus constantly put people in situations that iNVOLVED them.
- He put the disciples in a boat knowing the storm would hit
- He asked Phillip to provide food for the 5000
- He told Peter to launch his fishing boat into the deep for a catch
- He even told the lame man to pick up his own mat
- etc.
People ask why our curriculum is game-based. It is because it iNVOLVES kids. Kids get involved through games…and they learn. They move from spectators to participants. It works.
QUESTION: why are thousands of kids riveted at Kidz Blitz Live events for 90 minutes and NEVER get up to go to the bathroom?
ANSWER: because they are iNVOLVED
Given the choice, kids would rather play a cool game than watch ANY video. Kids are wired to DO, not WATCH.
Game-Based Curriculum by Kidz Blitz
Amen! Just keep saying it because it works. We have decided to make ushers, greeters, and praise and worship leaders from our kids. Why? Because when we asked for help to minister to kids they were the one ones waving their hands! They ARE the church of today not the church of tomorrow!
