In Oberstdorf in the Oberallgäu, an exciting holiday program recently took place, which was aimed at primary school children. Under the title "Bible detectives", boys and girls had the opportunity to learn something about biblical stories in a playful way and to experience an exciting treasure hunt.

imaginative approaches for Christian education

The idea for this innovative program comes from pastoral officer Nicola Traskalik and a group of committed volunteers from the parish community of St. Johannes Baptist. "There are so many leisure activities during the holidays, but something that deals with our faith has so far been missing," explains Trasskalik.

a joint project with committed supervisors

This year, around 30 students took part in the holiday program, which was supervised by parents and members of the committee "Together - Faith - Life". The supervisors read biblical stories and helped the children to solve the puzzles that resulted from these stories. A highlight was the passages over the fishermen who left their nets to break new ground.

puzzle and adventure in the spa park

The children were divided into groups and went in search of information in the spa park. With a lot of motivation, they faced the various challenges and what seemed like a game at first brought them a lot of knowledge about faith. "Search for the stairs" was a hint that the children had to decrypt and which led them to their next destination.

creative activities for rounding off

After the exciting treasure hunt, the participants could become creative in the Johannisheim. There the children made individual spring pencils, which they proudly took home. "It's totally fun," said Sina, while Simon and Julius also spoke enthusiastically about the exciting puzzles.

importance and response of the program

The “Bible detectives” program not only contributed to the entertainment of the children, but also promotes the joint coexistence and the examination of beliefs. Events such as this proves how important it is to convey faith in a modern and appealing framework and thus offer contemporary forms of religious education.

Overall, this holiday program in Oberstdorf shows that creative approaches in Christian education can have a positive impact on the children and at the same time contribute to strengthening community bonds.
