Helps
1. Have a sharing time in your Adventurer meeting so each child will have practice sharing a report with others. Help them learn to put events in order and encourage them to tell their parents about an Adventurer function. Start a simple “Reporter” scrapbook. Let the children design a cover with their name on it; typing paper or unlined notebook paper would be fine. Give the children a copy of an Adventurer announcement to place in their scrapbooks for starters.
2. Make a scrapbook story using magazine pictures or drawn and colored ones. A sibling, parent, or friend may need to help with research, or you may do research during club time. Have the children print captions below the pictures to tell what they like about the items. Have the children share what they learned.
3. Encourage the children to acquire good listening skills. Have them cut announcements from school or church bulletins to be placed in their scrapbooks. Circle the activities they would most enjoy. Put an X by activities that they attended.
4. Talk with a favorite person asking them what they like best about their job. Draw the person, and color and make a picture of what he/she likes best to do and where he/she works. Again encourage listening skills, demonstrating how to make a few notes to help them remember what they are told as well as to help them remember what questions to ask.
5. Work on the scrapbook for at least two months. Add clippings of interesting school, church, club, and community activities.
6. See Luke 24:33, 35; Mark 16:9, 10; Acts 12:11-16; Neh. 1:1; Luke 1:1-4; etc.
