Task for the leader

The leader ensures there is enough material for everyone to make a name tag for themselves (e.g. scissors, pens, paper, felt, clothes pegs), fashioned after the local group’s tag style. Where needed, the leader guides the adults with helping the children to use the scissors and write their names. The leader also explains why the name tags are important. The families make sure everyone is wearing their name tags in the meetings.
