We are in our fourth year of rotation and we have used rubbermaid tubs to direct the different classes. Each age group/class has a symbol that appears on their nametags, the shepherds name tag and the tub. The children sit on the floor with the shepherd around their tub. The class symbols are also on their workshop sign for that week and on their Bibles which they take from the altar to their workshop space each week. This has worked well and does not create a lot of set up work either.
