Primary (5-8) aged youth are impressionable and respond to exciting and creative activities. This is an excellent time to enhance a child's learning experiences and self-perception. Being defined as a winner or loser at this age is a weak foundation for their development.
You may encourage your primary members to complete a Primary Member Record Book with assistance from their adult volunteer, parents/guardians, or older members.
