With “Twists & Turns,” kids will play their way through VBS while learning that Jesus guides them through the ups, downs and zigzags of lives. Most importantly, kids will encounter the gospel and learn that sin’s message of “game over” is overcome through Jesus’ life, death and resurrection.

“Games are the universal love language of kids, and God made children to learn best through play,” said Melita Thomas, VBS and kids ministry specialist for Lifeway. “Parents and church leaders get to capitalize on that with this theme. New games, old games, elaborate games, simple games, board games, cooperative games and video games—they’re all part of ‘Twists & Turns.’ I’m excited to use something so accessible to help kids understand profound biblical truths.”

The biblical lessons in “Twists & Turns” flow from the motto “Following Jesus changes the game” and the theme verse, Psalm 25:4: “Make your ways known to me, LORD; teach me your paths” (CSB). The weekly outline includes the following daily focus points and Bible stories centered around Jesus and the life of Peter.

Day 1: Jesus is holy. Bible story: Peter followed Jesus.
Day 2: Jesus is trustworthy. Bible story: Peter walked to Jesus on the water.
Day 3: Jesus is forgiving. Bible story: Peter denied Jesus and was restored.
Day 4: Jesus is worth following. Bible story: Peter spoke boldly about Jesus.
Day 5: Jesus is for everyone. Peter told Cornelius about Jesus.
