Cubbies Club is the Awana program for preschoolers
age 3 years through pre-kindergarten boys and
girls. Cubbies is different from the programs for older Clubbers,
therefore refer only to these pages for information applicable to the
Cubbies program.
The Cubbies program is designed for Total Time Teaching. This
approach to learning reinforces Bible teaching by coordinating all
the activities of a Cubbies Club meeting around a lesson focus. It
involves the 5 physical senses (touch, smell, taste, hearing and sight)
as much as possible.

THE FIRST NIGHT…
The first time your child comes to Cubbies, he or she will receive a
Bear Hug Brochure. This is the first step in Cubbie Achievement.
Please help your child work their way through the brochure the first
week. When it is complete, your child will have earned the right to
wear a Cubbies Vest and will begin work in the Jumper Handbook.
(see next page for costs involved.)
Please be sure to submit the completed Medical Authorization
form for your child. The form is found in the back of this handbook.

THE PARENTS ROLE…
Active participation by you is crucial to your child’s success in the
program. Each week, you need to read the Bear Hug to your child
and help them memorize their verse. Older Cubbies are required to
memorize the reference while younger Cubbies are not. The Handbook
provides specific instructions on how to help your child understand
each lesson. Please sign the Bear Hug each week so your
child’s Leader will know he or she has worked on it.

THE CUBBIES CLUB NIGHT:
The Cubbies Club night is comprised of the following
elements:
Coming-in Time & Starting Time begins with attendance,
singing, and a visit from Cubbie bear puppet, as
well as his friends Luv E. Lamb, Ern E. Elephant, & Gigi
the Giraffe.
Quiet time & Story Time activities transition Cubbies
into prayer and the Bible story.
Snack, Craft, game, & Book Time reinforce the Bible
verse and Story. This is also a fun time as the children learn through
play.
Going Home & Awards Time is a Wrap up and time to give rewards
when they have been earned.

CUBBIE AWARDS:
Attendance awards are given as Lion emblems twice a year. Cubbies
who miss only 2 or fewer meetings the first half of the year receive a lion
patch. Those with two or fewer meetings missed the second half also
receive a Lion patch.
Regular Sunday school attendance is rewarded with either a Zebra
emblem the first year of club or a Giraffe emblem the second year of
club.
Trail Patch awards are given when the first two Jumper Trail or Hopper
Trail Bear hugs are successfully completed.
The Lamb emblems or Elephant emblems are given as each Lamb
