| VBS Cowboy Theme |
| Sheriff Badges These print 6 to a sheet and go with Cowyboy themed VBS programs. You can either do this as a "Badge making Craft" where children color their own, print their names, and then you laminate them with contact paper. Or you can print colored ones, write children's names before hand, laminate and pass out at the end of the VBS session. Like an award. |
| Take Home List This is a printable Take Home list you can send out with your students in the weeks before your VBS. You can print a blank page and add your own needs or use our premade list with various items that you'll need for your Cowboy VBS session. These would be great to post around the church as well for other to help too! |
| Squirt Gun Fun! Summer is the perfect time to have some water play fun, and with a Western VBS theme you can easily incorporate fun Water games into your activity time. You can pick up squirt guns from Oriental Trading Co. for about 50 cents a piece, and even less with bulk orders. Water Play: Let each child have their very own squirt gun to keep for the entire vbs week, and allow them to take them home at the end of the session. Squirt Gun Painting: Take some butcher paper and completely cover a wall, or if outside hang a rope (clothesline) and drape a large sheet over it. Then fill up squirt guns with runny tempera paint and let the “little cowboys” paint their own murals. If you match the paint with the color gun it works best. |
| Horse Races Potato Sack Races can easily be transformed into Horse Racing fun for your Western VBS theme. You can purchase a set of Potato Sacs from Oriental Trading Company for about $6.00 or get a set of Personalized ones the children can decorate beforehand. Racing Games: Depending on the age of your children, set up a fun course for them to maneuver. Younger children can use a straight path, and older children can use a curved path, or even one with obstacles (like jumping over or around small objects, or having to hop around cacti or something. You can paint orange cones green to represent cacti) Customizing Potato Sacs:You can let the children customize the Burlap sacs by allowing them to sew their "logo" on the bag they'll use. Multiple children can reuse the bags, just alot them each their own little square to sew. Provide a plastic needle and some yarn and show them how to make simple designs. Older children can draw their own logo before hand and follow the guidelines. By the end of the camp year the sacs will be very colorful and you could use them as "Awards or Prizes" to give away at the end of the session. If you have the funding, you could also allow children their own White potato sac which they could customize with markers and take home individually as their craft. |
| Rope Tricks Before your VBS starts ask around your church for various Ropes and Twine that can be donated or borrowed to use for your theme. Often people have extra tow ropes or something just lying around their garages and they'd be more then willing to donate them to your summer camp. If you can't find a good Tug rope, you can purchase one from Oriental Trading for around $20. Tug o' War: Children love to play these games of strength, especially when tugging against a Camp Counselor. If you want some extra fun, heavily soak the ground in the middle with a hose before hand, so that the children are sure to get nice and wet! Three Legged Races: These types of games are fun and are a great ice-breaker because it forces the children to work together with a partner to complete the task. Have children pick partners and tie their legs together. Set up a course for them to run, and provide a prize for the winners, and the best sports. You can also pick up a set of three legged race bands from Oriental Trading co. They are $1.00 a piece, and sold in sets of 12. Rope Size Sequencing: Provide a mixture of ropes that are different sizes and different lengths. Allow children to put them in the correct order. Knot Tying: Have a demonstration for children to learn how to tie certain knots. You can learn how to tie them from various videos online, or have a special visitor come and teach them some fancy tricks for tying, and what they might be useful for. Let them practice by tying eachother up. |

| I ride for Jesus Craft This is a printable craft for cowboy theme VBS. Children color a cowboy boot, and a spur that reads "I ride for Jesus" Then children cut out and glue the spur onto the boot.
