Ridge Kids

Ridge Kids is a way for the younger children of CRUMC to learn about God and the Bible and experience Christian fellowship with one another and our local community. In order to make this a safe and happy experience for everyone, the Ridge Kids created and agree to obey the following:

General covenant:

  • Watch for and obey the leaders' request for quiet (clapping signal and hand signal.)
  • Respect the leaders and our fellow Ridge Kids. This means
    • We pay attention.
    • We don't interrupt others when they are speaking.
    • We keep our hands to ourselves.
    • We don't tease.
    • We don't call people names
    • We don't yell.
    • We don't roughhouse, push or shove.
    • We don't spit.
  • We respect church property. This means
    • We clean up after ourselves if we spill or make messes.
    • We clean up after snack time.
    • We put supplies away.
    • We don't run or rough house in the church or Fellowship Hall.
  • We respect other people's property.
  • We do not tattletell unless someone is doing something which could harm themselves or otherselves.

Trip/Special Events:

  • We respect any adults/chaperones and obey them.
  • We obey any rules/regulations of the place we are visiting.
  • We don't yell or scream in the bus or cars.
  • We wear our seatbelts. This means no standing up, running around while vehicles are in motion
  • We stay with our group. We do not wander off by ourselves.
We understand that if we do not follow these rules, it may mean
  • We may be placed in time out.
  • We may be given assigned seating.
  • The leaders may talk with our parents about our behavior.
