The Easiest VBS Registration Form You’ll Ever Set Up
Planning Vacation Bible School (VBS) is one of the most exciting things a church community comes together to do. The music, the crafts, the kids running in with giant smiles. It’s the good stuff. But before any of that can happen, there’s one thing standing between you and a smooth summer: getting families registered.
If you’ve ever cobbled together a paper sign up sheet or wrestled with a generic form tool that wasn’t built for church groups, you know the struggle. Cheddar Up’s church payments tools were made for exactly this. Here’s everything you need to know about setting up a VBS registration form that works for your church, and for the families you serve.
A VBS registration form is how your church collects the information it needs to welcome children to Vacation Bible School. At its core, it captures the basics: child’s name, age or grade, parent or guardian contact information, and any emergency contacts.
How to Plan a Field Day: Easy Games & Planning Tips
Most people who get asked to plan a field day have about two seconds of excitement followed by a wave of “wait, how do I actually do this?” If you are wondering how to plan a field day for your school, workplace, or community group, the good news is you don’t need to have a degree in event-planning or a big budget to get started.
What you do need to succeed is a clear checklist and the right approach. From coming up with easy field day games for kids to recruiting volunteers and managing group communication, running a field day is all about preparation and a positive attitude.
This guide will teach you what a field day is, why it matters, and simple steps you can take to stay on budget and handle all of the logistics of your activities.
A field day is an organized outdoor event built around physical activities, games, and friendly challenges.
Schools typically hold them in the spring as a capstone celebration, but community groups, summer camps, corporate teams, and neighborhood associations also run them year-round.
When most people think of field day activities, pictures of stations scattered across a field, relay races on a track, and bean bag tosses under a shade tree come to mind.
But, what is the purpose of a field day and why should you take the extra step to make sure your field day is planned properly for your group?
