Take Agent ID Photos

First set out a bin of dress up clothes, costume supplies, or anything else kids may use to make a disguise.  Then, ask kids to put together a secret agent disguise. Kids will have a good time developing their alter ego. When kids have finalized their secret agent disguise take a photo of them. This photo will be their agent ID badge photo. 

After you have taken a photo of every child as their alter ego. Send the photos to your computer and print them off.  You will have to make them smaller. I copied and pasted the photos into a word doc and sized them down.  Also make sure you have the agent ID template printed.  You should have one ID per child.

Make the Secret Agent IDs

Give each child a secret agent ID and their photo.  Have them glue the ID onto the large box on the right of the ID.  

Next have them write their actual name in the name space and decide on an agent number, and a code name.  Check out our list of secret agent code names for ideas.

After children have decided on a code name and number. Then. get out the ink pad and have them roll their thumb in the ink and place it on the card in the box located in the lower left corner. Then, them push down in a rolling motion onto the card.

When every ID is complete. Place them in the badge clip.  This gives them an official feel and will help them to last.  Finally, attach the metal badge clip so kids can wear it proudly!
