If you’re using Group’s Rainforest Falls VBS 2026, you already have strong teaching, engaging storytelling, and a memorable theme.
But when it comes to snacks, many churches want more than repeating the same ideas everyone else will use.
The snack ideas below are completely original. They are designed to:
- Match the exact daily lesson focus
- Reinforce the heart of each Bible story
- Add color, creativity, and interaction
- Avoid duplicating Group’s suggested snacks
- Stay realistic for real churches and real volunteers
Think of these as meaningful moments disguised as snacks.
Day 1 — God Is Our Creator (Wow, God!)
Bible Focus: God creates the world (Genesis 1)
Key Truth: Creation is intentional, full of beauty, and designed on purpose.
🍿 Snack: Creator Confetti Crunch
This snack celebrates the color, variety, and intentional design of creation.
What it looks like
- Popcorn mixed with colorful cereal puffs or yogurt chips

Day 2 — God Knows Everything (Wow, God!)
