As a secretary in the Primary Presidency, I was constantly trying to find creative ways to make things run more smoothly. One area we managed to improve was the Talk and Scripture reminders.

Giving kids a paper reminder to show their parents seemed worthless. Most of the time I’d find their paper on the floor in the form of an airplane or fan. Although it was tempting to write it across their forehead, we came up with the next best thing. We used shipping labels. I printed out tons of white 2″x4″ shipping labels (I bought them in bulk at Costco) . I typed in the theme and date info, but you could print out a more generic version and write it in those details as well. When new assignments were made in Primary, I would stick these simple labels directly onto their shirts. The kids liked to show off their sticker and the parents liked getting the information.

I had tons of these labels, so I used them for reminders about Primary activities and Ward parties too. They really improved our attendance. Just thought I’d pass it on.  You can find the free file downloads below.
