πͺ School events are brilliant fun, but anyone who's ever helped organise one knows how much work goes on behind the scenes!
A bit of forward planning can make the day much easier for everyone involved.
π₯ Make sure you've got enough volunteers.
π― Plan a good mix of stalls and activities.
π· Decide how visitors will pay.
π Make your signs and prices clear.
π§οΈ And, because we're in the UK, always have a wet-weather plan! π
If you're looking for a simple alternative to handling cash at every stall, tokens can be sold from a central point and then used across games, food, drinks and activities throughout the fair.
π And if your next PTA event is a Halloween fair or disco, now is a good time to start getting those plans together too.
π¬ PTA members, what would you add to our school fair essentials list?

Getting pupils excited about a new reward system is one thing. Keeping that enthusiasm going throughout the school year can be a little trickier!
A few small changes can help keep things interesting:
π― Give pupils clear goals to work towards.
π Introduce new challenges throughout the year.
π Let pupils have a say in the rewards.
π Make their progress visible.
π Celebrate milestones along the way.
You don't necessarily need to completely change your reward system when enthusiasm starts to dip. Sometimes a new challenge or target is enough to get everyone interested again.
π¬ Teachers and school staff, what works at your school? How do you keep pupils interested in your reward system throughout the year?

Here are five creative ways to use them:
π¬ Exchange them for food, sweets and drinks.
π» Pay for games and spooky activities.
ποΈ Collect prizes from one central prize stall.
π Reward visitors taking part in a pumpkin trail.
