ABOUT THE SPARKS PROGRAM 

Awana Cubbies is a three-year weekly club program for school-age children in Kindergarten through 2nd grade. Our purpose is to help teach your child about the people and events of the Bible. This builds a foundation of wisdom for knowing Jesus. 

The Sparks program is firmly grounded in Scripture. The three handbooks feature: 

• Basic truths about God, Jesus Christ, salvation and the Bible 

• A clear and consistent presentation of the gospel message 

An increased emphasis on Scripture memory over our preschool materials. In three years, a child will learn and review over 65 verses, many of which cover salvation and key Christian doctrine, establishing a founda-tion of biblical wisdom. 

 

INTRODUCTION/Flight 3:16 

Similar to our Cubbie Bear Hug Brochure, Flight 3:16 is the first and only (introduction) booklet received in Sparks. Upon completion of this Entrance Test the clubber receives a Sparks Membership Card, their Sparks Uniform Vest, and receives their first of 3 Handbooks available in Sparks. 

 

HANDBOOKS and REVIEW 

Sparks has 3 Handbooks (unlike Cubbies with only 2) used in their club: Hang Glider, Wing Runner, and Sky Stormer. The following se-quence of completion for each grade is as follows: 

KINDERGARTEN (1st Year of Sparks) – Flight 3:16, HANGGLIDER HANDBOOK FIRST GRADE (Second Year of Sparks) – WINGRUNNER HANDBOOK SECOND GRADE (Third Year of Sparks) – SKYSTORMER HANDBOOK 

Following the handbook for each grade is a Frequent Flyer book that contains a handbook review and extra credit sections. 

HangGlider, WingRunner and SkyStormer will take Sparkies on a sequential journey through Scripture – Genesis through Revelation – with regular layovers to meet important Bible characters along the way. Each book includes verse memory sections, Bible biographies, and ac-tivities. The handbooks are enhanced with an audio handbook CD. 

 

Regardless of the age of the child, each clubber will start in the HangGlider Handbook. Each Handbook consists of:
