FUN, FUN, FUN

Alright #kidmin peeps this post should be right up your alley. If you are in #kidmin you know that one of the major elements in place in your environment and programming should be fun. Why? Well it’s well documented on countless blogs and sites that the two questions asked to kids in the car after church are:

What did you learn? Did you have fun?

And as a Production Director I know that fun is an essential part of the equation. Why? Well many reasons. Fun gets seekers to come back. Fun helps you build relationships. Fun is fun and people like fun. In fact Dale Carnegie (didn’t know he liked to have that much fun) said that

“People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.”

I mean it’s true, go into an organization that has fun and compare it to an organization that doesn’t have fun and I’ll tell you the more successful organization. Now again fun is an essential part but it is not the whole. But let’s focus on the fun.

Go to thefuntheory.com to check out what the guys at Volkswagen are doing to make ordinary things more fun and the effect it has on people.

Now the question for you in #kidmin is there something that people are having a difficult time buying in to? Is there something that people dread to do? )Sorry for the hanging prepositions but I can’t resist) Will FUN save the day?

Open up and see if fun can take an ordinary, mundane practice and turn it into something that people love to do.
