Sample Timetable

This is a sample timetable of what happens on a typical morning at Sawtell Ignite. The Saturday morning festival will follow a very different timetable - kids will get full details about this event when they come to the weekday programs.

Daily Program

8.45 am - Registration opens. Early kids play games in groups.

9.00 am - Sawtell Showtime. The show kicks off! There are songs to be sung (with actions) and the kids meet a range of characters whose adventures continue across the week. The day's bible story will come alive as it is acted out on stage. The younger kids will love the music and colour; while the older kids will get all the puns and jokes.

9.45 am - Sections. Break into age-based sections for fun and games. Sample activities:

Fireflies (K-2): Learn some rhymes with actions; games like Duck-duck-goose or Roaring lions

Dynamite (3-4): Chants and calls; games like Poisonball or Outback dunny

Kaos (5-6): Messy games that involve popcorn and shaving cream, or frozen chickens and bowling pins...

10:30 am - Morning tea. Bananas and apples, plus Zooper Doopers all around!

10:45 am - Sections. Back into age-based sections again, with bible time and more fun. Sample activities:

Fireflies (K-2): Puppets act out the bible story; craft with stickers and cards

Dynamite (3-4): Bible drama; make a model with cardboard and dowel

Kaos (5-6): Bible discussion; craft is making magnet-based mini games

11:45 am - Showtime. Back into one big group and watch the show conclude for the day. Often parents like to arrive a bit early and watch too!

12:00 noon - Depart. Kids depart with their parents
