VBS Kingdom Capers Decorating Ideas
LifeWay Christian publishers developed the Kingdom Capers Vacation Bible School (VBS) theme in 2003. This VBS program, subtitled "Cracking the Character Code," takes children through a journey of spy games and mysteries as they build character traits. If your church is using the Kingdom Capers theme this year, try some creative ideas for decorating your VBS location to bring visual interest to the fun and lessons.

Since the Kingdom Caper curriculum focuses on specific character traits, use these traits in your decorations. Put up visual images that represent the traits, such as a child helping his baby sister for "kindness" or an image of someone waiting in line for "patience" around the walls of your sanctuary or social hall.
