Please note: the videos of the daily drama for Medieval Mania will not be available till the end of 2025. As soon as the Medieval Mania drama videos have been filmed, you will be sent a link to download the upgraded Medieval Mania Pack with the links to the drama videos.
This is a four day (9am-12:30pm) holiday club which aims to share the good news about Jesus to children aged 5-10. Medieval Mania unpacks the idea that Jesus came into the world to save sinners.
Day 1
Big Idea: People push Jesus away but Jesus doesn’t want to be pushed away. He invites us to come, follow him.
Passage: Luke 5:1-11
Day 2
Big Idea: God’s plan to save us was that his Son, Jesus, would die and come back to life again. It was the only way we could be saved.
Passage: Mark 8:22-33
Day 3
Big Idea: Peter failed Jesus. Jesus came to save people who fail.
Passage: John 13:38; 18:15-18, 25-27
Day 4
Big Idea: Jesus died so that each of us could be forgiven and become friends with God.
Forgiven people, then tell others so they too can be forgiven.
Passage: John 21

The daily drama provides a segue into the gospel truth being taught each day of Club. A link to a professional recording of each day's drama is included. The cost of producing these has not been factored into the price of any Kidswise Holiday Club. The drama production costs have been generously covered by MBM Rooty Hill Anglican Church as a gift to churches who would otherwise be unable to present these dramas live. The recordings can be used to prepare a group of actors to present the dramas live. Alternatively, the professional recordings can simply be shown at your Club.
A template of the gospel tract used in each Club is also included. These can be produced by your team or purchased via the Kidswise website.
There are six Clubs in all. It is recommended that Clubs be done in the order they appear below as there is one reference in each drama to the previous year's theme. This, however, is only a minor consideration.
1. Circus Mania
2. Jungle Mania
3. Space Mania
4. Medieval Mania
5. Superhero Mania
6. Pirate Mania
