VBS Review: “Back Stage with the Bible” from the Go Fish Guys

Culture.

Here are my review notes from this Vacation Bible School program. I would love to hear your comments about the theme, especially if you have used their music in your church.  Just leave a comment below . For more information, be sure to check out their official website and YouTube channel .

High Energy Music

The first thing that impressed me about this VBS was the quality of the music. This program is built around several popular songs that the Go Fish Guys have been performing for years. This gives them a real advantage over other publishers who are forced to composed original VBS songs to fit a predefined theme. The music in this VBS is the same music that families flock to see at their Go Fish Guys concerts.

Excellent Supporting Media

The DVD that comes with this curriculum will bring the concert experience to your VBS. Each song video includes concert footage, fun animations, and real kids leading the choreographed dance movements.

Clear Gospel Focus

Sometimes the Gospel message gets lost in all the creative theme elements in a traditional Vacation Bible School. That is definitely not the case with this VBS. The teaching focus clearly moves the children through the basics of a Gospel outline. Here is a look at the daily themes:

Day #1 Superstar: God made you in HIS image (Psalm 139:14) Day #2 Ten Commandments: Are you good enough? (Romans 3:23) Day #3 The Cross: Find out what Jesus did for you (John 3:16) Day #4 Saved: Saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8) Day #5 Go Fish: Share the Good News! (Matthew 4:19) Bible Saturated Teaching

Another strong point for this VBS is the amount of biblical content contained in each lesson. They have included far more Bible teaching in their lessons than in the typical Vacation Bible School. “ Putting the Bible back into Vacation Bible School ” is more than a marketing phrase. If you want meaty Bible content, this one won’t disappoint.

Simplicity

This VBS curriculum has all the normal activities including music, bible lessons, snacks, crafts, and games. One major difference is the intentional focus on simplicity. They don’t load you down with dozens of options, instead it’s all focused on having fun & sharing the Gospel. The directions in their manuals are very clear and to-the-point.
