Anyone got a braini could borrow please- need an idea that should be obvious?!

Boss asked me to come up with a way of organising a big crowd into following the right leader. Think huge crowd students that need to follow the right teacher. Boss suggested maybe they held different colour balloons or a coloured flag on a stick - what else could I use feel like I’m missing the obvious?! Caps wouldn’t be appropriate in the setting.

Umbrellas? Have each group all wearing the same colour vest so everyone in a group can identify each other and stick together?

Same colour teeshirrs or swearshirts, flag on a stick is ok but i would feel a right tit doing that, did you watch the apprentice on their day out in France, onwards and upwards, tally ho

Even getting 6 different coloured attention sticks seems impossible 🤔

Wooden spoons?

Helium balloons in different numbers/shapes/colours?

How many will it be for

Just 6x different colours

How many of each colour, you don't want to end up spending loads.

If you can’t find 6 different colours, you could try 6 different things.

Does it have to be colours? Could you number everyone so all the 1's go together, all the 2's etc?

I went to a restaurant once that handed out soft toys rather than the traditional numbered wooden spoons.

DS has been to things like this and they use soft toy animals, but that might feel a bit childish.

Why not balloons? Or painted/coloured paper plates?

Why is it hard to colour a stick??

It’s a professional setting so balloons etc don’t feel quite right.
Just need 6 x different colours one for each leader to move their group along .
Hmm really think flags might be my only option.

Coloured clipboards that can be held in the air? Much more Professional than balloons

Thank you clipboards might work!
Definitely needed someones else’s brain as I couldn’t even spell it correctly in the title 🙈

Coloured clipboards, with the group leader wearing a top/jacket in the same colour?
