Post It Notes

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008 | Youth Ministry, Youth Pastor Toolbox

I like the idea of being organized (although I am not organized at all).  One organizing tool that I really like is Post It notes.  I always have a stack of them on my desk.  Serving so many purposes, Post It notes are the Swiss Army knife of the desk (if a Swiss Army knife were a stack of sticky notes).  Three important attributes of Post Its for a youth pastor:

  • Useful. Have students write questions on a note.  Take phone messages on a note.  Use Post Its to mark pages in your Bible.
  • Versatility. You can literally do ANYTHING with Post It notes.  Enough said.
  • Creativity. Tape pictures to the youth room walls, then let your students make captions with Post It notes.  Make flip books with a stack of Post It notes.  Play a game involving covering one student fully in Post It notes.

There are a ton of off brands, but the best is Post It brand.  The Super Sticky versions are best for all-around use, while the regular ones are best for use in Bibles (they don’t hurt the pages as much).
