Children aged 8 to 11 like to have fun! They like to be with their friends and are growing increasingly independent. Most still like the opportunity to play games and to be creative, but they will shy away from anything that feels too babyish.
Their capacity to learn is enormous and most can read quite well. Feed their imaginations with Xstream and allow them space to ask the questions about the things that younger children take for granted. Xstream encourages 8 to 11s to live their daily lives for God.
You can use the wealth of material on LightLive alone to create excellent Bible based sessions for your 8 to 11 year olds but there are a number of additional resources available from Scripture Union to compliment and enhance your Xstream sessions:
Printed Xstream for Children
Although LightLive provides downloadable copies of the relevant pages from the children's activity magazines, nothing can compare to the actual printed magazine which your children will love to use and keep. To purchase current children's magazines, click here.
The Bible Timeline
A full-colour wall chart to help children and leaders grasp the big story of God's saving plan as seen in the Bible.
