| | I am wondering if anyone has any ideas of how to decorate for a registration station. I am really trying to encourage online registration however I live in a rural area and many people do not use the internet often. I thought it would be really cool to decorate an area right inside the door for registration and I really wanted it to be cool. I appreciate in advance any suggestions you may have for me. Thanks,

| I am hoping to encase my registration table in some styrofoam and make it look like the volunteers doing the registering are in a computer. That is what I am hoping, we'll see if I get the time to do it. Right now, I am the director/decorating team and I can only do so much...
Looking Forward to a Powerful Week June 9 - 13th |

| Hi Bambie,
I can't help you much as we do registration outside. Our table sits under a tree near the parking lot. I was able to find some material with planets on it so that will be the tablecloth. Then I plan to hang some planets on string on the tree. I will have a robot out of cardboard sitting near by. This would work inside too.
I am using the entry way to sing N play for our interactive table where the kids can try different things out. My grandson has a remote control robot that talks and does motions . He will be demonstrating this. I have magnifying glass to look at bugs in gell in a petri dish. We will have the different parts like heart, ear etc growing in jars. I got a clock that you hook up to fruits like oranges, lemons etc.That gives you some idea.
Let your imagination soar!

| | Balloons are always a sure fire attention getter!!! I was thinking of doing that and then some glass cylinders with colored h2o and dry ice. But I would get a NEON table cloth...plastic for $ sake and really bright balloons and just make it wild looking...kids will be drawn to it!!! Especially if they see the dry ice in water...they love playing with the smoke. Just my two cents worth Blessings

| | I am going from a take-off on the Chadder video and we are making our foyer the entrance into Wonkenstein's Castle with a drawbridge - our registration table will be a lab table inside the castle with a frame made from PVC pipe that looks like a colorful mirage of lab piping, I will try to send a pic when I get it finished. |

| | I was planning to do my registration site as an interactive one to keep kids busy. I was planning on having optical illusions all around, a few maze type games, twister in a bottle, potato clock (works off potatoes), simple motor, hand boilers, buzzing magnets, disappearing coin bank (use to collect money for missions) and such. Then have card board boxes or the like stacked into a wall, cut a small hole (large enough for arm) put black plastic bag or something in the hole, so you can't see inside and have a "are you brave enough wall." I will put things inside like gooey eye balls, slime, jelly heart, etc. Have what it is written on the outside (i.e. Brain - are you focused on God?, Heart - Who does your heart belong to?, etc.) Above the box will be are you brave enough to reach "inside" (play on words, inside your self, inside the box) and answer these questions? Of course, bright tablecovers and balloons are a must. I was considering using wind bags or the solar bag tied down as well, may even write/glue a message on the solar bag so it can be seen from the highway. Still in the thinking process, but this is what is going on inside my brain. Blessings,

| My daughter made a design on her Lite-Brite. It has a flask with bubbles, a test tube and says "Power Lab." I think it will make a neat table top decoration.
There is a neat poster idea on Dr. B's web site. It has a molecule made out of lots of circles. We are writing the kids' names on the circles as they register. It has been in our Narthex for a while and the kids like looking for their names.

| | We have a long entrance into our church, so i have a life size styrofoam "scientist" stand with a place for the kids to place their face for a picture to be taken. Then we are placing a "hands on" science table for kids to try different things as they wait to register. Then we have decorated one wall to look like a "power statition switch board" with blinking lights and power switches. On the opposite wall we are using "cut-out" gears and alternating "caution" signs. The registration table is right out the entrance to the sanctuary. The sanctuary doors will be covered with the warning sign of "DANGER: Life Change In Progress on one door and the "Power Lab" logo on the other side. The people registering the kids will be dressed in lab coats and radiation bages. On a table behind the registration table we are going to have beakers with "bubbling liquids" (lava lamps decorated to look like beakers) and dry ice 'steaming" up behind them. Hope some of these ideas are helpful. |
