Keeping children organized?
It's possible with these steps.
CCF Group management 
Pray
for each child, by name, each and every day.
Take
care of yourself, spiritually and physically.
Always have two
adults present at all times!
Keep an up-to-date
file on each child. Include the following information:
- Name of parents or guardians
- Address, home phone number, e-mail address;
- Birth date;
- Interests;
- Allergies, medications, other important
health issues;
- Name of doctor and preferred hospital;
- An emergency number;
- Signed permission form for participation
in outings away from the church.
Keep meetings
simple
- Children are traditionalists. They love
ritual. Develop some unique traditions for opening and closing your
CCF meeting times and use them at every meeting.
- Especially at the beginning of the year,
when you have new children in your group, try to keep to the same
schedule for each meeting. Once the children are used to the schedule,
and comfortable with you and each other, throw in a surprise now and
then. Change the routine to keep them interested.
Involve children
in planning and give children significant responsibilities.
Communicate 
- Stay in touch with parents about how their
child is doing in the group.
- Keep parents informed about upcoming events.
- Call children who miss meetings.
- Keep the wider church informed about the
activities of your CCF group.
- Ask for the help and support you need to
do a good job.
Have fun!
