The Theme

Official VIP Pass At a concert, the only thing better than a front row seat is a backstage pass! Kids are always very curious about what it’s like to go backstage. Each day your kids will start out with their own “concert” experience worshipping and singing with the Go Fish Guys. Then they’ll take their backstage passes to go backstage with the Bible!

Daily Overview

Day 1: Superstar - God Made You In His Image
Day 2: The Ten Commandments - Are You Good Enough?
Day 3: It’s About The Cross - Find Out What Jesus Did For You

Decorations

Each room for the daily Backstage Bible Study will incorporate decorations based on the lesson. (i.e. Day 1 - Egypt, pyramids, sand, etc.) Your starter kit will include suggestions for decorating to make each room a unique experience for your kids!

On stage - Make it as much like a “concert” as you can! Many churches already have lighting, trussing, and other production elements available for this. Rent a fog machine and some moving lights from your local sound and lighting company and really step it up a notch.

To give the hallways and entryways a true “backstage” feel, take all the old sound and lighting equipment out of that church storage space and scatter it around. (guitar cases, old instruments, cases, etc. work perfectly too!) It may not be beautiful, but trust us - that’s what it looks like backstage...we know all too well!

The Skits

Each day with either live actors or puppets (depending on what works best for you) we’ll incorporate a sketch that will play a key role in getting your kids in the right mindset as they get ready to go backstage with the Bible.

Written by John Cosper (other works published by Standard Publishing, Lifeway, and many others), these are top-notch skits that are sure to be a big hit with your kids!
