Showstoppers!

Get ready to lift the curtain on the greatest show on earth! Everyone from the experienced actor to the stage-shy musician will enjoy Showstoppers! Use performing arts to explore the stories of creation, David and Goliath, Daniel in the lion's den, Jesus' birth, and his crucifixion and resurrection.

The Showstoppers! holiday club resources equip your church to run a complete 5 day holiday club for children aged 5 to 11. The accompanying DVD will bring the Bible stories to life, and the Showstoppers! Cast List provides the text of the Bible stories, plus puzzles and games to give the children a take-home souvenir to help them remember Showstoppers! all year round.

The Showstoppers! downloads page has additional material to support your Showstoppers! holiday club.

Covers of Showstoppers! resource book, DVD and Cast List

As well as all the ideas you will need for a full five-day programme, the Showstoppers! Resource Book also has outlines for Sunday services before and after the club, and the downloads section (coming in January) will include loads of supporting materials, including a sample press release, outlines for an under-5s and 11-14s programme, and loads of advice and training material.

The five Bible stories used in the holiday club also appear as five of the Must Know stories, which are contained in the the Red Book of Must Know Stories, which would therefore be an ideal gift for children aged 5-8 who attend the holiday club (see below for more details). For older children, The 10 Must Know Stories contains ten Bible stories retold for 8-11 year-olds.
