Excuse me, pastor calls everyone to the front who doesn't have a name tag. May I make one for you?

How about "What name shall I write on here for you?"

"Do you wanna go to Heaven?"  Or "Do you have a name?"

Hi There, What's your name?

Love it DC!!  Probably not what she used but that would definitely get peoples attention!

Hmm . . . my idea would be pretty similar to Mike n Laura's - the assumptive close ;)

I can't wait to hear what you actually used - I struggle with that with our youth all the time.  Name tags aren't "cool" you know.  =)

Mike's is the closest so far..

How do you spell your name?

There's one obvious approach to this:

STOP! Whoever approacheth the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see...What is your name?...What is your quest?...What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

You know the reference. Will Carebear be giving this set of questions a try? :-)

Good morning, Everyone who loves Jesus will be wearing a name tag today!

Oooooo!

Oooooo!

This question was made for me!   You ready for it?

Do you love statistics as much as I do?

*Happy Dance*  This would be to the tune of manah manah or Gene Gene The Dancing Machine!  (For reference I prefer the tune of manah manah, but dance more like Gene Gene)

In all seriousness, my guess would be something along the lines of

"I've got this badge, can you help me spell your name correctly?" 

I would have went for, "Do you have any idea why they'd stick an introvert like me on badge duty?" but that seems destined to get lots of nos.

(Sorry for all the plugging.  At least I didn't do the autoplay thing!)

My first thought was like Mike's, "How would you like your name spelled on your name tag?"

But I like Voice's and Jam's better!

What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

I would just slap the Tag on em then ask them for there name.  Then I would look at the closest person as if to say they made me do it.  If that didn't work I'd try the unladen swallow thing.

Here's plenty of info and analysis about the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow.

Congratulations Davethepastor!  You got it!

"How do you spell your name?"

We think this worked the most effectively because it's really hard to say "No" to that question.  Spelling your name is a whole lot easier than explaining that you'd rather not have a name tag for whatever reason.  Framing the question is everything!  

Friends.. may we all be name-tagged on Sundays! :)

Jam...where'd you get the coconuts?

What would we ask visitors to our churches if they showed up clacking together coconut halves and acting like they were on horses? Would the first question be about their names? :-)
