(A set for each group) Post them in order – 1. Blue, 2. Red, 3. Green, 4. Blank –
Note the fourth chart is for if the group needs extra. Careful: The room number and
A or B is written on each chart – please do not confuse them.
8. Set on the Leader’s chair the Red cup with pens/pencils and markers.
9. Close the door and move on to the next room – follow the same procedure

11. For Take Down – reverse the process and bring all charts and materials to Diane at
the Registration tables. Be careful not to misplace any of the sticky notes
