5 myths about Awana

When you get an organization as big as Awana, sometimes information can get mixed up or misunderstood. Below are five myths that the missionaries in my region had to debunk in their travels to start new clubs.

A town can have as many Awana Clubs as it has
groups of people willing to run them.

Myth: The official order of the colors is red, blue, green, yellow.

Fact: There is no official order.

Myth: Each town is only allowed one Awana Club.

Fact: A town can have as many Awana Clubs as it has groups of people willing to run them.

Myth: You can’t have an Awana Club until you have an official Game Square.

Fact: Some clubs run with no game square at all!

Bonus: Check out these nontraditional Awana Game areas!

Myth: Awana is only for kids within the church; outside kids cannot attend.

Fact: On average, 10 percent of the kids attending any giving club don’t attend a church at all. Awana has complete sets of resources dedicated to bringing in the outside kids, including the “Bring-A-Friend” section in the handbooks and The Great ShakeUP four-week program.

Myth: Awana can only be held in a church building.

Fact: There are Awana Clubs in schools, community centers, parks and apartment complexes, just to name a few.
