Imagine the pressures of learning a new language and culture…and the shock of discovering your best friends have been tossed into a fi ery furnace—just because they follow God.

At Babylon VBS, kids and adults discover they’re not much different from Daniel and his friends—and that they too can courageously keep faith in a faithless culture.

Page 3: 2012 Babylon VBS Consumer Catalog | Group

Ancient Babylon was the capital city

of the powerful nation Babylonia,

located in Mesopotamia. In today’s

geography, the site of the historical city

of Babylon sits in contemporary Iraq,

about 70 miles south of Baghdad.

Daniel spent his entire adult life as a captive in Babylon. Scholars believe

the young man was forcibly taken to Babylon around 605 BC, and Daniel 1:21 reveals that he remained there until at least 539 BC. That means Daniel lived in Babylon well into old age—more than 60 years!

Daniel Is Your Bible Teacher!

Kids hear what it meant for Daniel and his friends to live out faith in a faithless culture.

Imagine what it was like to live in the ancient city of Babylon—as a captive!

Think how you’d have felt if you were with Daniel and his friends when King Nebuchadnezzar II invaded Jerusalem and forced you to move to Babylon. You’d constantly be afraid for your life…You’d have to learn a new language…eat new food…learn complicated new subjects…worship new gods…

Or would you?y

e.

It would’ve been so easy for Daniel and his friends to try to fi t in—to do whatever was necessary to please this new king. But no matter the consequences, they courageously remained faithful to the one true God—with astounding results.

In Babylon, kids (and adults) get to meet Daniel, become friends with him, and learn about his breathtaking experiences. As participants watch Daniel’s courage and faith in action, they’ll explore how they too can faithfully follow God today—no matter what.

Page 6: 2012 Babylon VBS Consumer Catalog | Group

When King Nebuchadnezzar forced Daniel and his friends to relocate

to Babylon, he was basically taking post-war hostages from Israel’s royal families. By doing this, Nebuchadnezzar gained promising recruits for his own service—and also reminded people back in Jerusalem that they shouldn’t dare to revolt against his recently-imposed Babylonian rule.

What Goes On at Babylo

n?

We’ll show you around!

At Holy Land Adventure VBS, kids and adults “time-travel” back to ancient Babylon! Here’s what happens each day:

start here visiting Babylon

Marketplace Shops

Daniel’s Adventures

Palace Playground

3.1. Opening Celebration

2. Tribe Time

4. Tribe Time

5. Closing Celebration

Opening CelebrationEveryone starts the day with a fun time of energetic singing and worship.

Opening Tribe TimeAfter Celebration, kids head off to small groups—their

Tribes. They gather on home-base blankets and get ready to step back in time, preparing to share God’s love throughout Babylon.

Visiting Babylon!(Daniel’s Adventures; Palace Playground; Marketplace Shops)Tribes will meet Daniel and hear about his adventures with the king’s crazy demands. They’ll have a

blast playing low-tech, high-energy, Bible-themed games at the Palace Playground. And they’ll explore the exciting shops in the Babylon Marketplace, where they can create a hanging garden, craft a mosaic treasure box, sample unexpected snacks, and more.

Closing Tribe TimeAfter visiting Babylon, kids return to their Tribe’s home base. Fun, engaging activities from the Tribe Time Teaching Kit help everyone connect

their Babylon experiences to our modern-day lives. Kids and adults also get to share God Sightings—ways they see God in action in everyday life! (See more about God Sightings on page 23.)

Closing CelebrationFinally, everyone comes together for joyful celebration and meaningful worship to end the fun-fi lled day.

Page 9: 2012 Babylon VBS Consumer Catalog | Group

Musicians and their instruments appear frequently in Babylonian archeological artifacts. Cuneiform

tablets also reveal that ancient Mesopotamian culture had a wealth of musical knowledge, including specifi c tuning modes, scales, string names, and hymns. In ancient Babylon, most music was instrumental, and it was often used to accompany the telling of a story.

At Babylon fi eld tests, parents kept asking how they could develop faith-building family traditions after VBS. So we created “Bringing It Home: Family Faith-Builders” for the families in your church.

These 10 devotions can be done after dinner, before bedtime, or whenever a family is together. Each experience is simple, meaningful, and memorable for all ages. Parents and kids alike will thank you for “Bringing It Home: Family Faith-Builders”—so make sure you have enough copies for everyone!

These replica coins of the ancient world are an integral part of your VBS. Each day at Babylon, kids receive 3 darics to spend in the Marketplace—and help them “budget” their time. Darics are collectible, fun, and spendable in the Marketplace all week long!

This 3¼ in. x 5 in. cloth bag is perfect for kids to use when carrying their darics or other small VBS mementos. Every child at Babylon will want one! Made of 100% cotton (including drawstring).

Each day at your Babylon VBS, kids and adults join a small group named after an Israelite Tribe. These groups of 10 or fewer members facilitate friendship-building—and create a safe, manageable learning environment for kids and leaders alike.

Just like real Tribes of ancient times, your VBS Tribes will become a family group for everyone involved—making happy memories that last a lifetime.

You can have as many Tribes as you’d like…from 1 to 100! Just give each Tribe one of the names below. If you need more than 12 Tribes, you can create duplicates by simply adding a number to the Tribe name (for example, Judah #1 and Judah #2).

In Numbers 1:32-35, we fi nd that the Tribe of Joseph is divided into the Tribe of Ephraim and the Tribe of Manasseh. So why aren’t there 13 tribes total? According to Numbers 3, God set the Tribe of Levi apart for service as priests, so they “step out,” so to speak, of the Tribe tally. To keep things simple, in your Babylon VBS, we’ve based the 12 Tribes on Genesis 49, which lists all of Jacob’s sons.

It’s offi cial: Tribe Banduras are a hit at Babylon VBS!

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are considered to be one of the original

Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. King Nebuchadnezzar II commissioned the gardens, supposedly to please his homesick wife, who missed the trees and plants of her homeland in Persia. It’s believed that the gardens were destroyed by several earthquakes after the 2ND century BC.

God Sightings®

Wow—did you see that?Sometimes we read incredible, true stories of people like Daniel and his friends, and we quietly wonder why God doesn’t do those things for us today. But God is active in our everyday lives…we just have to learn to see him.

We call those God Sightings, and yes, even preschoolers can make them part of life. It’s faith-building…and easy.

In ancient Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar had an enormous wall built outside his palace. Much of that wall shone with blue and gold mosaic designs, picturing lions, dragons, and oxen. At your Babylon VBS, adults and kids will create their own dazzling wall that shines with tributes to God!

At Babylon VBS, you’ll encourage everyone to look for evidence of God in things like…

…a blue sky,

…a helping hand,

…a laugh,

…a friendly face,

…a tasty snack, and

…any simple blessing.

No time? No trouble! Use this eye-catching wall to quickly set the scene for all the God Sightings that’ll happen at your Babylon VBS. Made of lightweight plastic, this 4 ft. x 30 ft. decoration is easy to hang up—and ready for instant use! It covers a huge area, providing plenty of space for kids to post their testimonies of God’s blessings at VBS.

Use these entertaining animals to fi ll your God Sightings Wall with stories and drawings of God’s goodness in our lives. Made of high-quality paper and designed exclusively for your Babylon VBS. Make sure you have a minimum of 5 tiles for each small group Tribe at Babylon.

Babylon: Behind the ScenesIn ancient Babylon, mosaic art on walls was a big part

of the architecture and culture. With God Sightings, you’ll mimic that Babylonian tradition to create a visual reminder of the bountiful blessings God continues to pour out upon us. Yes, God still shows up in our lives today!

The Marketplace

Experience the excitement of Daniel’s world with hands-on crafts.

There’s always something new to make, smell, taste, or see in the Babylon Marketplace!

Here kids and adults become apprentices at a variety of Babylon-inspired shops. They craft a fl ute with their own hands…create globes that glow from the inside out…plant miniature versions of Babylon’s Hanging Gardens…snack on surprisingly delicious treats…and more!

Plus, shopkeepers talk to kids about their different ideas about God—and their viewpoints of Daniel’s story. These characters encourage kids to think about and verbalize what they know about our one true God.

The Babylon Marketplace is fl exible—you decide how many or how few shops to

include at your VBS. You can even choose whether to set up your Marketplace indoors or outside. No matter the size,

Babylon fi ts your church.

It’s a hoot to make a fl ute!

Beg your pardon, is that my garden?

A secret thing’s inside this bling.

Take a peek—my name’s unique!

Memories bloom in this art room.

Show you care with creative fl air.

Metal looks fi ne with your name and mine!

A petting zoo that’s all for you.

My little light shines so bright.

“Bugs” to eat? What a treat!

Field Test FindingThe Cylinder Seals appealed to all ages and kept kids busy as they crafted unique “signatures” from symbols and designs. Preschoolers loved using the seals on a stamp pad, while older kids tried pressing the seals into soft modeling dough.

Miniature Hanging Garden Kits

Hidden Message Medallions

The Cylinder Seal’s got kid-appeal! Personality and play combine when kids create Babylonian “autograph” prints. Using a foam rolling tube and unique die-cut designs, children construct personal decorative signatures they can roll out anytime! Each kit contains one 2 in. x 2 in. foam tube and a sheet of adhesive designs.

Over and under—this garden’s a wonder! Kids delight in this green-thumb goodie, recreating a miniature version of the Seventh Wonder of the Ancient World. Using nested planter boxes and real grass seed, it’s a unique Babylonian garden! Kit includes three nesting boxes and a connecting rod that locks everything in place. Largest box size 3½ in. x 17/8 in.

Smiles go for miles with these medallion styles! Kids love the creative bling of the Jewelry Bazaar—where they can decorate their own trendy Babylonian necklaces (and add a secret message inside)! Includes one square 1¼ in. gold-electroplated medallion with two predrilled holes for easy use. (You provide beads.)

Operation Kid-to-Kid™ Mission Project

How It Works

KijeMission Proj

OOperation KMission Proj

Together, let's squash hehh ree ,,rr lell te s sq

malaria in Mali!

We’ve partnered with World Vision, Group Cares, and churches like yours with a goal of stamping out malaria in the nation of Mali, Africa. All it takes is love, prayer…and just over a million specially-treated mosquito nets given to at-risk kids! Together, we’ll make it happen—save lives and share God’s love with kids who need to know him.

Order a Bugs Pray-er Clip for each participant at your VBS—plus a few extras to ensure you have enough. These mosquito-shaped clips are powerful reminders of the impact your kids will have on malaria in Mali.

As Tribe members bring monetary donations (any size!) to the Operation Kid-to-Kid Tent, they’ll clip a Bugs Pray-er Clip to the Operation Kid-to-Kid Display Mosquito Net. Soon it will look like a swarm of mosquitoes are trying to slip through the net—but they can’t! A great reminder of all the mosquitoes you’ll keep away from sleeping children in Mali.

Kids and adults will also create personalized Friendship Cards, sharing the message of God’s love with kids in Mali—most of whom have never even heard of Jesus!

On the last day of VBS, each person takes home a Bugs Pray-er Clip as a reminder to keep praying for children in Mali. (Shhh, it’s a surprise so don’t tell!) You’ll tally up your donations and send one check—and the Friendship Cards—to Group Cares.

Your cards and your gift—all of it—will be forwarded to World Vision to buy specially-treated mosquito nets. We’ll track the number of nets sent to Mali through Operation Kid-to-Kid!

Did you know? ≤ Malaria kills more

than 2,000 children every day.

≤ One bed net can protect two children for 4 years.

≤ Your church is going to change the world!

We’ve made it easy to jump into Operation Kid-to-Kid! This all-in-one kit includes 1 untreated Operation Kid-to-Kid Display Mosquito Net (use it as a display and designated donation location during VBS) and 50 Bugs Pray-er Clips.

Decorate your Operation Kid-to-Kid Tent with captivating posters that show where Mali is and how real people in Mali use the mosquito nets to stay safe. Posters come as a set of 4, and each one is 22 in. x 34 in.

Field Test FindingKids took Operation Kid-to-Kid to heart like we’ve never seen before! When called upon to pray, they always mentioned the children in Mali. Staff members loved reading the Friendship Cards, which really showed how passionate kids were about saving lives and sharing God’s love with kids in Africa.
