What is AwanaGames
AWanaGamesis where kids compete with other Awana Churches in games specialy created for Awana on a circle. Good sportsmanship points are given, and judges are certified by Summit staff.

More than 600 of these games competitions take place in the U.S. each year, with numerous others held worldwide. The event began in 1955 when four Awana clubs competed against each other in the basement of North Side Gospel Center in Chicago IL. Summit Games offers many benefits. Clubs develop a stronger identity and closer bonds amongst members. Kids are also motivated to attend club and complete handbook and manual sections to qualify for their team, learning Gods Word in the process.

Area churches and leaders are also able to connect with each other in an atmosphere of fellowship. Leaders are also able to interact one on one with clubbers parents.

Most importantly, the Gospel is presented allowing unsaved family members and friends in attendance a chance to hear and respond to God's plan of salvation, some for the first time.
