How old were you when you accepted Jesus as your Savior?

Kidology has been a breath of fresh air to me. We are creative but have become stuck in a certain mode of thinking and doing things. The ideas you have offered have so broadened our way of thinking and variety of avenues of teaching. I see it as God's provision - as we adjust the way we do things to be more effective in the lives of our children. Thank you so much.

Excerpt from Children's Ministry Blog with Jamie Doyle:

"The one you see me holding is about as big as my head and growing. (we've been adding to the ball since June - and yes, it's 100% name tags!)


This has been a great way to enforce our rule "Wear a name tag". We tell the kids that if they pull it off and stick it on constantly during the service of class, not only are they not obeying the rule - but, it will not be sticky enough to add to the name tag ball."

I think this is a great idea!  I'm gonna start one and have my older kids group compete with my younger kids group to see which can make the bigger ball...and wear their nametags

Jamie,
After reading this idea of yours I have to tell you that we have now started our own name tag ball as well. I am going to keep it displayed in a central spot for all to see until it gets to where it can barely go through the elevator doors and we will then take it downstairs to use as a promotional piece to show how many kids come through our doors.

I will keep you updated as it grows. Thanks again for the fun idea of creating the name tag ball.
