A Cool Idea for Games at Church

Recently I visited James River Church in Ozark, Mo.  James River is one of the largest Churches in the Assemblies of God and have a great children's ministry.

I love to visit other churches and see how they do things. While I was there, I saw great idea for games and toys before service.

Our kids love to find fun things to do before service begins and for us our games are on a cart and the kids have to play on the floor.  This is usually not a problem, except the colossal mess that's left when service begins and ends.  In addition, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep all the pieces together for the multiple board games.  

Kids will be kids.

While I was walking through James River's children's area, they had these games stations set up with a game or two on each table.  I thought this was a fabulous idea and am looking forward to implementing it in my own area.

Do your kids play games before service? How do you set them out? Please leave a comment below.
