Pre-Teens

The pre-teens come on Thursdays and Fridays from 3-5 and are one of the most fun groups. We have about 10 pre-teens and most of them are boys. Five of them are named Jose and one is named Joe. They come in and have free time for a while. We usually play basketball or soccer. Last week we played soccer for almost an hour. Then we play organized games like elbow tag or an awesome circle game called signs.
We take turns teaching them and yesterday was my turn. They are studying about Paul this Summer, so I was teaching about the persecution of Paul, how he was lowered out of a city in a basket and stoned and expelled all because people wanted to kill him. They were so much fun to teach because they are eager to look up the verses in their Bibles and read them. I feel like I kept their attention so hopefully God had something for them to learn.
