Mini-Kits

Maxi-memories at a mini-price

 

Mini-kits prompt the same remembering as the complete Bi-Folkal kits, but they are designed for a shorter program series on a smaller budget. You'll still find a media presentation and a leader's guide stuffed with program ideas and discussion topics. You'll have to gather most of your own things to touch and make your own photocopies. The red canvas bag is smaller than the blue and yellow kit bag, but it still holds a lot of programming inside!
