Sponsored
Bounce
A
really good fund raising activity is a Sponsored Bounce.
To do this you will need to hire a small bouncy castle which
does mean out-laying some money, however the owners of the
bouncy castle may reduce the cost if you advertise their
business
to parents or even get your event highlighted in the local
paper.
More funds can be raised by making the Sponsored Bounce part
of a fun afternoon.
Give each child a sponsorship form and ask their parents
to help them gain sponsorship for bouncing as many times as
they can in, for example 3 minutes. (Don't make the time too
long, as children can bounce very quickly!)
On the day you will need some volunteers to count the bounces,
one per child. For safety reasons it is best to have only
2-3 children bouncing at a time and you will also need a time
keeper. Certificates can be given to each child stating how
many bounces they achieved and maybe a balloon for their efforts. |
Growing
Sunflowers
All children love growing plants from seeds and sunflowers
are one of the most rewarding plants as they grow so fast.
Why not raise funds for your group by planting a sunflower
with each child and watching it grow. The children could take
home a sponsorship form, and with their parents help could obtain
sponship for the height of their sunflower by a given date.
