Part of: Bag care and repair
ProblemChild keeps losing or mixing up their madrasah bag
Bags get lost or swapped at the mosque because so many look identical. Label the inside with the child's name and your phone number, label the Quran's cover (not the mushaf), and make the outside instantly recognisable with a keyring, a distinctive colour or embossed initials. Then build one routine: the bag always goes on the same peg or shelf.

What works
- Label inside: name and a parent's phone number. See how to label a madrasah bag.
- Make it distinctive: a keyring, a coloured strap, or embossed initials.
- Label the Quran cover separately, because the Quran and bag often get separated.
- One spot, every time: agree which peg or shelf with the child and the teacher.
- Check the lost property box at the mosque every few weeks.
If someone else's bag comes home
Message the class group or tell the teacher at the next session. Usually two children have swapped identical bags.
