 How to Be an AWESOME Small Group Leader!
Many churches today use a Large Group / Small Group format. That simply means all the kids first gather together for a large group teaching that may utilize videos, skits, object lessons, puppets or games, and a gifted teacher who is able to engage a large group of children effectively. Then, the kids break into small groups for discussion, a simple game perhaps, and other activities to help dig a little deeper into the lesson topic.
If you are a small group leader, here are FIVE TIPS to make your time as effective as possible, plus some BONUS practical ideas! If you are the ministry leader, share this with your small group leaders.

Gimmie! Gimmie! Christmas Game
Gimmie! Gimmie! Christmas is a fast-paced, holiday trading game that illustrates thankfulness vs. selfishness.
Ideal for just a few kids as well as large groups, the object is to collect a complete set of Christmas cards, while avoiding the greedy Gimmie! Gimmie!
Adapted by Karl Bastian as a solution for understaffed volunteer situations around the holidays, this Gimmie! Gimmie! game provides an interactive object lesson while requiring just a few leaders to run it.
