Youth Group Session Plan
Turns a session that was half-planned in your head into something a helper can pick up and run, and leaves a record of what was planned for the next time round.
Faith and community groups · FC-24
A youth group register — each young person with parent or carer, contact number and consent on file, then a register by date with who signed them out.
2 pages. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.

The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Means the person on the door can see at a glance who is expected, who to ring and whose form is still outstanding, without going back to a folder in an office.
Youth leaders and helpers at church youth groups, uniformed organisations, after-school clubs and community youth projects.
2 pages, in this order:
Printed under the title: The register for a youth or children's group: who came to each session, who their emergency contact is, and whether the consent and details your group asks for are on file for them.
Ticks against your own forms. The consent columns are ticks against your own group's paperwork — this sheet does not set what you collect or how long you keep it. Check the rules where you are and your group's own policy, then use the last column to say where the signed form is kept.
Write-on lines: Group · Term or period · Leader in charge
Table, 12 rows: Name · Age / year · Parent or carer · Contact number · Consent on file · Notes held · Form kept
Table, 22 rows: Name · Date · Date · Date · Date · Date · Date · Date · Date · Signed out by
Because that is set by your group's own policy and by the rules where you are, not by a printed sheet. The columns are ticks against your own forms.
Because a register gets carried around and left on a table. Keep the detail on the consent form itself and use the column as a flag that there is something to read.
Turns a session that was half-planned in your head into something a helper can pick up and run, and leaves a record of what was planned for the next time round.
Take a month of attendance on one page, using whatever marking key your school or club already uses.
Record contact with home factually, so what was said and agreed is on paper rather than in two different memories.
Know who came, and have something to work from afterwards, without collecting more about people than the event actually needs.
The same subject, with a version you can fill in on screen.
Who to ring first if something happens, and how to reach them.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
