We're all familiar with Kapers and the benefits a Kaper Chart brings to organizing our troops and ensuring an equal rotation of responsibilities among the girls. But during the year there will be times when you need one or two girls to help with a quick task - not enough for a Kaper Chart assignment, but still enough that you want to ensure each girl gets an equal chance to be a helper. This is where an "It" bag comes in handy.
You keep two paper bags labeled "It" and "Not It". Start with all the girls' names on slips of paper in the "It" bag. When you select the one or two that you need by drawing their names, move the slip to the "Not It" bag. Each time you need these occasional helpers, draw a name from the "It" bag until you have selected all of them. Girls will quickly learn that everyone will get a chance to be a helper, and it eliminates the “Me, pick me!” competitiveness.
