December Programming Ideas
It’s cold out, there could be snow on the ground and students might be going a little stir-crazy. The good news is that the winter holidays are one of the best times of the year to really flex your creative muscles, and using your license from Swank Movie Licensing USA makes it easy to create unforgettable holiday events. Try a few of these ideas for some festive, movie-related indoor activities this winter.
Family Engagement:
Santa’s Workshop / Holiday Bazaar
Help students and families cross a name or two of their gift lists by hosting a gift fair before your screening! Invite local businesses and artisans to feature their goods at makeshift booths in exchange for a fee to help offset costs and raise revenue for your school. Make sure to have a hot cocoa booth or two to keep everyone in the Christmas spirit, and consider selling branded tote bags to help attendees carry around their new holiday haul.
Reward Days/Fundraising:
Winter Carnival
Celebrate the frosty season with a winter carnival! You can play season-appropriate games, like snowman-building competitions, or bring the fun indoors with a snowball toss using pom poms. Make sure to include activities for older kids and adults, like bingo or trivia.
Seasonal:
Holiday Parties
Make sure everyone feels included during this special time of the year by incorporating traditions from a variety of cultural backgrounds into your holiday celebrations. You can host a multicultural potluck, teach students how to play the dreidel game, sing songs from a variety of cultures or simply share information about different winter holidays.
