Keepers at Home ~ Recitation
After an opening prayer, we would have the girls stand and recite this. I don't know who wrote this; I think someone on the Keepers At Home Yahoo Group wrote and posted it for everyone to use. If you are the author, or you know someone who penned these words, please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due! Thanks.

Keepers at Home ~ Nametags
We've always printed these out on inexpensive white card stock and placed them into reusable plastic name tag holders, or we've printed them out onto full-page sticker paper (www.onlinelabels.com or your nearest office supply store).
We've used these at the first couple of club meetings, and also at the end-of-year banquet since not all of the dads and brothers typically know everyone.

Getting to Know You Better ~ Activity Page
We encouraged our girls to write to at least one other club member each month, to help continue to develope letter-writing skills. Sometimes, they would include one of these with their letter, to get to know the other girls a bit better.
This could also be used in one of your first club meetings so the girls can learn about each other better. The filled-out forms could be photocopied so each girl has a copy of each other girl's forms...although with a larger club, that might become costly! A mom who has lots of extra time on her hands (!) could take the information from the forms and compile a list of likes and interests of each girl and hand that out. It would be much less expensive, but would take more time.
