Do This to Wow Families As They Are Checking In

Here's an idea that will get kids excited about getting to church on time and checking in.

Each week, pick a different random number and give a prize to the kid/family that checks in at that number.

Example...you decide to give a prize to the 15th kid/family that checks in.  When the 15th kid/family checks in, stop everything and make a big deal about it.

(over the mic or loud where everyone can hear) "Congratulations to the Parker family!  They are the 15th family to check in today.  They win a __________(prize)!  Be sure to join us again next week when another family will win!"

Your turn.  Share some other ideas with us that can help kids/families get excited about getting to church on time and checking in.
