We have eight teams that work with our children's church program. We have two services on a Sunday morning. We have people sign up for the team they want to be on by the theme and also by the service. We have two teams that always work on the first Sunday of the month. We have two for the second Sunday of the month and so on. Our teams work for one school year which is September to May. That comes out to nine times that any one team will work.

This year like usual, we put out sign up sheets for people to sign up on. In the past I have just listed the positions such as song leader, puppets, and drama. This year, with our themes so different, I created a different sign up for each theme and each service. On the sign up, I had clipart or photographs that reflected the themes. I was amazed at how much these helped and excited people in signing up. Volunteers signing up for puppets or drama parts actually signed  up for the character they wanted to play.

I have a full time song leader during our 2nd service Kid Zone. He and his wife, along with one other "full" time Kid Zone volunteer attend the first service and then work during the 2nd service each week. Unfortunately, I have not found a full time person for the 1st service.

Also on each team I have one or two Audio/Video workers. Most of these are Jr. High or High school boys although this year I have finally gotten some girls to work the booth. I also have "Tappers" who sit with the kids and help keep them focused on the what's going on or dismiss them to the bathroom.
