If you have decided to create a spectacular club for you and your friends, then you will also have to choose a beautiful name. Whether you want a secret club or one that everyone will have to talk about, you can follow these tips to pick the best possible name.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Create Your Club Name
Step 1. Make a list of the activities you will be doing in your club
What is its purpose? Do you just want to hang out with friends and talk or play together, or do you want to do an activity at school or in the neighborhood? Your club's purpose will have a big impact on the name you choose.
Step 2. Decide if your club is public or private
Do you want your club name to describe its address? Or do you want to create a secret club that needs a name that prevents people from understanding what it is? For a club that is open to all, you will need a well-understood name. For a private club, use a joke that only the members can understand or a code name.
Step 3. Get together with the other members and prepare a list of ideas
You will be surprised at what will come out of group work that you would never have thought of on your own.
- Think of something that all club members have in common. If you all love the same music, you might want to add something about your favorite band in the name.
- Get the vocabulary. If you can use more sophisticated words to express something common enough, your name will stand out from the crowd.
- Pick the name from a book, TV show, or video game. In some cases it is a good idea to borrow someone else's ideas.
Step 4. Choose a short name
A 3 or 4 word name is easy to remember and shorten.
Method 2 of 2: Start Your Club
Step 1. Create a logo
Once you have chosen the name, create a logo that includes it. You could also take your logo to a print shop and have t-shirts printed.
Step 2. Decide on the meeting place
You can choose a location in the park or home of one of the members. You can also build a fort or a tree house to create your own special meeting place.
Step 3. Elect officers
You can have a president, a vice president and a treasurer, or choose different types of officers according to the type of club.
Step 4. Make a list of the things you will need
If you're starting a babysitting club, for example, you might need money to run an advertisement in a local newspaper.
Step 5. Establish a budget
To raise funds, you can charge your members a fee, or you can ask your parents for help. You could also organize events like a car wash or a cookie sale.
Step 6. Have your first meeting
After the first meeting, you can meet whenever you want, or you can arrange one or two days a week.
