  17. Don’t Fall Prey! • Remember, relationships first. The purpose of Roar is to help kids grow in their faith and to encourage healthy relationships. • Don’t allow put-downs. Set this as a clear expectation, and enforce it. Your kids will grow in their faith as they see that cooperation, assuming the best and lifting each other up creates a servant’s heart and feeling of belonging. • Applaud effort. Encourage constantly. Be lavish with applause. Make it fun for kids to try new things, even if they fail. Build kids up! • Pray, pray, pray. Pray that God will use your VBS to draw kids and their Trackers closer to him and to one another. • Cheer! Feel free to start thinking of ideas for your group cheer. You know the name of your group now, so get creative, that’s a good way to bring your group together as a team.

Herd Hangout 411 • Day 1 Give each kid a key hook with the Bible Buddies-write their name on the blank tag, tell them to wear them every day on their lanyards so you can talk about the bible buddy for each day.
