AWANA Council Time Lessons

Here are links to PDF files of the AWANA Council Time curriculum I used for several years. It’s based off of the idea of a catechism, where each week the children are asked a question about God and learn the answer.

Each lesson is free for you to use and distribute.

Note: I’m still in the process of proof-reading, formatting and upload these lessons. More will appear each week as I finish them.

  1. What does AWANA stand for?
  2. Who or what is God?
  3. What is sin?
  4. Who has sinned?
  5. Who is Jesus?
  6. How can I have a relationship with God?
  7. What is prayer?
  8. What is the Bible?
  9. How can a Christian grow?
  10. Should I Tell Others About Jesus?
  11. How Should I Deal With Mean People?
  12. Should I talk about my friends behind their backs?
  13. Can my words hurt others?
  14. What is the golden rule?
  15. Does God care what I watch or listen to?
  16. Should I listen to my parents?
  17. Does God care how I do in school?
  18. Does God care about the stuff I have?
  19. Does God care if I’m popular?
  20. What is a church’s job?
  21. Does God care who my friends are?
  22. Year in Review

    Your site is great and very helpful although I was not able to download 7 & 8.
    Thanks.

      Thanks for the head’s up. I’ve actually set up a different site where I’ve posted these lessons, along with the lessons I’m writing for our Sunday morning curriculum. I update that site regularly, and am in the process of moving things over from this one. You can find it at faithkidslessons.blogspot.com .

    I am so blessed to have found you!!!! I need help with counsel times for 3, 4, 5 grade girls and I’m just reeling. I can’t seem to find anything. When I found this website I was elated. I’m pretty desperate. I was able to take the STARFISH story using Jude 1:22 and the girls seemed to like the story and understand how it applied to our daily walk, but I’m out of ideas. So, I love you and I thank you. Do you think these can be used for that age group of girls?

      I’ve actually moved to a new site: faithkidslessons.blogspot.com . I don’t use these lessons anymore, but when I did, we did them together as a K-5th Grade group. We’re a small church, so we had everyone together. So, they probably could be made to work with 3-4-5 girls.

    Thank you so much for answering me. I really appreciate it. I’ve added your new website to my favorites. Thanks again.

    Thank You!
    This is a wonderful resource for the rare occasions when I might get called on to teach council time with little time to prepare.
    I have shared with the AWANA director at my church, and also pinned your site on pinterest.

  5. Audrey Hodges says:

    Thank you for offering these resources! I used your What is Awana lesson for a group of 50 Sparks. I used powerpoint for a couple of the images (awana cheeseburger…). They loved it and I was excited to present it. I plan on using more. Again thanks a bunch for selflessly sharing for the sake of the Kingdom.

  6. Bill Moore says:

    I just wanted to let you know that I did lesson 2. I had my classes attention the entire time. Will continue with the lessons. Thanks by

    Your material has been extremely helpful. Have you completed any beyond #10?

    • andydoane says:

      Our church hasn’t done AWANA in a few years, so I haven’t written anything for it recently. However, I think there are more than 10 lessons. I’ve stopped updating this site and have moved everything over to faithkidslessons.blogspot.com. You might be able to find more there. God bless!

  8. what do you mean by council time lessons

  9. Thank you so much for these ideas! I teach Council time for all ages and need new ideas!!!

  10. cindy hester says:

    I am using these lessons each AWANA meeting and am so blessed by each one of how the message is clear – and biblical. Thank you for the resources you have provided.
    Note :Lesson 11-22 will not let me go into to read and print. Any suggestions??

    • andydoane says:

      I’m not sure why they’re not opening. This is actually an old blog I don’t update anymore. You might have more luck at my new site, where all these AWANA lessons are also posted. The links should work there.
