Why have a school carnival?

o Builds Community

o Shows Appreciation for Students and Families

o Fundraising

o Encourages Interaction between Parents and Families

o Strengthens Teamwork

o Is a great reward for something well done

The School Carnival is a valuable part of any successful student community.

These events can be a great opportunity for schools. It gives parents and teachers a chance to mingle, relax and "let down their hair." It gives students the opportunity to look forward to and be involved in something "fun" at school. At many organizations, the school carnivals a time honored tradition- which offers great things both in the realm of community building as well as in the realm of fundraising!

A well organized carnival is the key to a successful picnic. Use our easy to follow guide to help you make your carnival a success.

YOUR STUDENTS WORK HARD ALL YEAR- DON'T YOU OWE THEM THE BEST IN CARNIVAL ENTERTAINMENT???

Things to Think about!

You need to decide what you want your carnival to be and how much you want to spend. Yup that means set a budget!

And as with any event, you also want to keep the needs and tastes of your attendees paramount. You will also want to allow yourself sufficient time to decide on the perfect date for your event.

You'll need to plan your food and beverages, and activities and entertainment.

You want to have time so you can notify your community well enough ahead of time so they can plan to be there! Don't forget that parents and families, have their own busy lives, and giving them enough notice to show up, may determine the ultimate success of your event!

When do you want to hold your Carnival?

There are pros and cons to weekday carnivals versus weekend carnivals. School Carnivals held on a weekday (monday thru thursday) can be a lot cheaper to book rides and entertainment, and our rides and entertainment option as are less likely to be booked out already. But having a school carnival during the week can mean limited attendance depending on your community. Many families and students have commitments to various other sports, athletic, church , or civic groups during the week- you do not want these commitments keeping them from attending the carnival!

Weekend Carnivals are definitely more popular. Typically we see a lot of carnivals on Friday nights- this is a time when most families put aside to spend on family related outings and such. Some schools choose to hold very large carnivals on Saturdays, which can be a great choice as A saturday offers a larger amount of time for you to be "open for business." This gives families who have commitments like soccer games opportunity to go to the carnival before or after the game.

Typically in Michigan schools hold their picnics any where from February thru June, Some schools have found fall carnivals to be extremely profitable as well, as during this time there are alot less other events to be competing with. At Family Friendly Entertainment, we are busiest during the spring months- so if you are planning your event at that time, be sure to book well in advance. We will work with you to get you everything that you need!

Where do you want to hold your carnival?

School Carnivals can take place inside a gym (for maximum weather protection) But the most successful ones we see are outside, because this allows for much more space for activities and attractions. When schools are not limited by space we can offer our larger attractions, which are more popular. Plus these attractions will also bring in people from the neighborhood such as home school students, or children who attend another school in the area. Placing attractions outside where they can be seen maximizes the revenue potential and increases your schools visibility and recognition.

You'll want to have a Plan B in the case of rain. Or a b selection of activities that can take place indoors. A tent with walls or access to on-site building facilities is a option.

FOOD! FOOD! FOOD!

We have Cotton Candy, Sno cones, popcorn, and 20 other fun foods! And we definitely recommend you have some of them at your event! But you may want to consider more substantial food options than that. Providing meals can not only get your crowd to stick around longer, but is also lends you opportunity to raise more funds.

Types of Activities

The number of attractions and activities definitely varies according to the size of your group, how many you expect at the event, etc...

One common issue we see at school carnivals is that there are not enough attractions for the size of the group. This results in long lines and a slow moving, less exciting event. We understand that budget constraints are what can hold a school back from ordering more equipment... That is why we work hard to maintain competitive pricing.

Rest assured, if you order our equipment, properly advertise your carnival, and get enough people there- your equipment will be well worth the investment!

What kinds of activities do we need?

Events and activity needs vary according to the age groups you have. Our staff can help you to determine and ideal package for your event!

Most often, events usually have 1 Slide, One Obstacle Course, and a bounce house. Many events choose to offer one of our interactive activities as well. (Events with larger groups of older children will usually choose more interactive games/etc...)

We also offer a full selection of carnival games, concessions, arts and craft activities and much more! All of which will make your carnival into a better and more fun event!
