Kidology's Salvation Cards not only provide a very visual and clear Gospel presentation, but are also interactive, using up to nine children from the audience.
Keep asking the volunteers to turn the cards around as they keep spelling different words as you talk about salvation. Works like a trick with no trick or skill needed.
