Shipwrecked VBS Name Tag Templates

For the last few years, we've printed our own name tags and put them in ID sleeves attached to lanyards.  These are affordable and have lasted really well!  We've had to throw away a few lanyards, but most of them can be re-used multiple years. This year's VBS theme is Shipwrecked {learn more about the theme here}.  The VBS kits are available now.  All of our VBS resources are designed to be used alongside any of the Group starter kits, although I HIGHLY recommend purchasing the ultimate version with digital.

Shipwrecked VBS TShirts

Shipwrecked VBS TShirts

Years ago, our church purchased the Group t-shirt transfers and made our own shirts.  However, the size and quality of those transfers declined over time to the point that we just quit making shirts.  A few years ago, I decided to start making shirts again, but to make them shirts we'd be happy to wear over and over again.

Where to Find Ideas & Inspiration for Shipwrecked VBS

I used to get the Vacation Bible School material in the Spring, then I would brainstorm as many new and innovative ideas as I could to relate to the theme.  As someone once told me, "work smarter, not harder".  Don't get me wrong -- I still love the fun, innovative VBS ideas (and I try to share them with you all!).  I also take advantage of modern technology (hello, Pinterest) to help come up with ideas our VBS kids have never seen.  Here are some of the ways I've already found TONS of…Read more …

Group Publishing VBS 2018: SHiPWRECKED

Am I the only person who's been waiting on the edge of my seat for the 2018 Group VBS theme reveal?  I mean sure, my "waiting on the edge of my seat" is more of an exhausted slump since our Maker Fun Factory VBS just finished... but still...

The "Holy Land" VBS theme is Babylon: Daniel's Courage in Captivity. The "Weekend" VBS theme has not been announced yet.…Read more …
