Description of Activity
This activity is appropriate when participants do not arrive in a group but arrive individually before the session begins.
Welcome participants and invite them to sit down and write and decorate their name tags. A second co-leader should greet new parents and explain the plans for the day.
Including All Participants
This is an excellent time for co-leaders to notice the abilities and temperament of each child. Note how they respond to you. Are they shy and reticent? Are they anxious and jumpy? Invite a parent to share any concerns and pertinent information, including information about children's allergies. Do you have a sign-in sheet? While the children settle in with the Opening activity, co-leaders should review the names of the children attending and share any issues that may need special attention during the session.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.
