Plan A Sunday School Birthday Party

Here’s an idea for a fellowship event for your entire Sunday school. Plan a "Sunday School Birthday Party." Invite all members to a party where you have twelve decorated tables (one for each month of the year). As people arrive, direct them to the table that corresponds to the month when they were born. You might have a served meal, covered dish event or more traditional birthday party fare of cake and ice cream. The evening should also include a variety of group games and activities plus prizes and gifts for special people. These might include recognition of the oldest mother, the man with the longest beard, etc.
