Seventh-day Adventist Church hosting a fair for children

The Seventh-day Adventist Church hosted the Pathfinder and Adventures Fair for the children of the church.
The Shalom District Fair was held at the Lynnville Stadium on Sunday, November 27.
The two groups of children, the Pathfinders (10-15 age groups) and the Adventures are the little ones.
The nine groups or clubs competed in different activities like marches; the church says that they want the children to learn skills as well as to enlarge their windows on the world and build a relationship with God as the objectives of the clubs.
The club is an experimental laboratory where the growth and learning are synonymous with fun.
The clubs competed in the Norwegian Waddle Race where they learn to tie different knots using ropes, balancing, coordinating and teamwork are the main objectives. They also must learn how to construct a tent.
The clubs competed in message sending without making a sound, only making signs for the next person to interpret as a means of communication.
They must learn the first aid as well.
The children also did bible sword relay learning to memorise the bible verses within a short period of time.
The Adventures competed in needle relay whereby they must put thread in a hole of needles using one hand, learning to concentrate at an early age.
The aim of the competition or the activities is to teach the children skills development in different situations they may encounter in life as well as to grow and learn while having fun.
The activities cover skills development in arts and crafts, aquatics, nature household arts, recreation, spiritual development, health, and vocational training.
These may often serve as a launching point for a lifetime careers or hobbies.
