Church events for VBS week, fall festivals and family nights
For ministry staff and event volunteers planning a day the whole congregation, and the neighbors, can come to.
Church events run on volunteers. Big Idea Entertainment takes the activity side off their list: one events team plans it, and an operator in our family delivers it, with staff who run each activity on the day.
Vacation Bible School, a fall festival on the church grounds, a family night or an outreach event in the parking lot: the plan starts from your grounds, your crowd and your date. Which activities are available depends on your city and date.
Your volunteers stay free to greet families and host, while the operator's staff look after the activities.
What we bring
Carnival games from Backyard Carnival, under striped tents with staff who run every booth. Foam from Foam Palooza. Giant bubbles from Big Idea Bubbles. Snow from Big Idea Blizzard for a winter event.

Which activities are available depends on your city and date, and is confirmed with your quote.

Single-activity pages
Planning for the youth group? Gellyball Adventures' field-day page covers church youth.
Can it run in the evening for a family night?
Yes, with the right activity. Where gellyball is booked, its glow package puts blacklights around the field and uses glow-in-the-dark ammo after dark. Tell us your start time.
Can it be part of VBS week?
Yes. An activity can close out the week or anchor one day, timed around your sessions. Send your VBS dates and our events team suggests a slot.
What does a carnival need from us?
A 30x30 space, a power outlet and two or three helpers. The operator's staff run every booth.
How far ahead should we book a fall festival?
As soon as your date is set. Send it, and our events team confirms availability within one business day.
