Robot Themes

• You can take advantage of recent box-office hits like Transformers and Transformers 2 by using a robot theme. Having a robot theme will definitely draw kids to your VBS. You could call it Transformed rather than Transformers. Explain to kids how they can transform themselves spiritually by accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior.
  
  

Western Themes

• Western themes are appealing to both boys and girls. Hay bales, cowboy wear and cowboy boots are easy to find and use. You could "round up" the kids every morning in a general session. Then according to age groups, send them off to different corrals for age-appropriate lessons and crafts. The western theme is loved by teachers, too. You'll probably find grown ups getting involved, because everyone loves to dress like a cowboy.
  
  

Outback Adventures

• Australian adventure themes are really popular choices for VBS. This idea works well when you have a charismatic leader who can pretend to be a popular Aussie star like Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter. Aboriginal drawings make wonderful backdrops for Australian outback adventures. You could take kids on a fantastic journey with this theme.
  
  

Beach Party

• A beach party theme is one that both girls and boys will love. Beach party VBS is a casual affair where kids can wear Bermuda shorts and flowered shirts. You could decorate easily with tiki torches in buckets, fish nets, blow-up floats and beach balls. A beach party theme means beach fun like playing limbo, volleyball and water games.
