Instructions

Lots of people find it helpful to have structure and routines in their meetings, including having a set way to start and finish a meeting. This can help everything run smoothly and help everyone to join in.

This suggested song is to the tune of the first half of 'Goodbye campfire song' with the words changed to be:

Hello (name of young person), hello (name of next young person),
hello (name of next young person), we're glad you're here today.

Or why not try the Squirrel Wiggle : https://youtu.be/rSKL7giMkLM

After the welcome song, the person leading the ceremony should ask the group if they can remember what they did during last weeks meeting.

Everyone should be encouraged to share what they enjoyed about last weeks meeting and what they did if they took part in the at home activities.
