    KidsGames in NSW

    Excitement is growing as we move closer towards KidsGames here in NSW again. Don't miss out on being part of the action this year!

  • In Australia, KidsGames is often run as a 5-day holiday programme (approx 9am-1pm ) at the local church/community group/suburb and ends with a big, colourful, festival like Closing Ceremony for the whole community with all suburbs coming together. KidsGames can also be run as a 5 –10 week programme (once a week).

  • You can start small, grow and multiply with a grassroots model. KidsGames started in Sydney in 2001 with just 5 churches/groups and 150 kids. It has grown rapidly with over 3000 kids and 70 churches/organisations since then.

  • Or you can dream big and do a larger more centralized town/city wide event. In October 2003, and again in June 2006 100 churches in Brisbane combined for a city wide KidsGames.

  • KidsGames will be happening again in Brisbane. KidsGames have also been held in Tasmania, Western Australia and Victoria as well as in two rural Aboriginal communities in WA and QLD.

    • For More Info to Run a KidsGames in NSW!
