The handbooks contain Bible study lessons and memory verses to be prepared during the week. Some of the most influential people in a child’s life when it comes to developing a daily devotion to God and His Word are parents. Therefore, even though your children are good readers, it will be important for you to remind them to work in their Awana handbook, to help them understand the verses, to help them develop strategies for scripture memory, and to quiz them on their recitation.

Please note that it will take a little time to complete each T&T section. It is not something that can be quickly reviewed on the way to Awana. Plan to look over the section early and schedule out your time. Sections may ask for T&T’ers to draw a quick picture, ask parents questions, read scripture and answer a few brief questions, memorize a verse, and sometimes review a verse.

Each year, all Clubbers will complete the Start Zone Booklet before beginning the handbook. This is a brief mini booklet that takes 2 weeks to study, complete, and recite. After that, a clubber will proceed to the appropriate handbook.

Each year, all T&T’ers will use the same handbook and move through it as one group. For clubbers who wish to do more memory work, check out the Silver and Gold sections within the handbook.

Exceptions to completing the assigned weekly verse:

• Clubbers who miss a week should make up missed verses while trying to stay current according to the club calendar.
• Clubbers who would like to complete last year’s book may work on prior T&T handbooks while trying to stay current according to the club calendar.

T&T uses four handbooks on a four-year cycle:

• 2024–25: Grace in Action
• 2025–26: Evidence of Grace
• 2026–27: Agents of Grace
• 2027–28: Discovery of Grace

Clubbers are asked to wear their club shirts each week. This helps develop club unity, easily identifies them as a T&T’er, and is the place to display award patches. The award patches are fun and exciting and a great way to represent all the hard work that has gone into memorizing God’s word.

The club night is divided into 3 primary parts: Game Time, Handbook Time, and Lesson Time. Awana begins at 7:00pm. Clubbers should arrive between 6:45 and 7:00.

Once a T&T’er arrives at Awana, he or she will immediately meet with their small group leader and recite the verse assigned for the night. It is important for clubbers to prepare their verses at home so that they can head to Game Time on time.

VERSES ARE MEMORIZED AT HOME AND RECITED BEFORE GOING TO GAME TIME.

Game Time begins at 7:05, once the clubber has recited the nightly verse. This is a fun time for clubbers to participate in unique Awana games played on the “Awana Game Circle.” These will vary from fun games, to team games, to running events, to more competitive games. There will be something for everyone to enjoy. Be sure to come dressed to play: shorts or pants, and sneakers are a must!

Groups are divided by grade and gender. This is a special time to develop a discipling relationship with an adult Awana leader. Clubbers will talk about their verses, review the material they studied for the week, share prayer requests, and encourage one another.

During this time a leader or guest speaker will share a Bible lesson focused on that night’s handbook section/verse. Clubbers will get to know the leaders through these talks and learn some wonderful and practical ways to apply scripture to their lives.
