Add a Twist:
• Create a passport on which the children receive a stamp for each room they attend.
• Add rooms as volunteers are available.
• Set up a parents’ room.
• Hand out goodie bags as the children leave. Include a book for them to take home.
• Have prizes for the game room.
• Visit local businesses for sponsorship.
• Create/use enhancement activities on/from the Web. Possibly even deliver these to the schools ahead of time.
• Encourage volunteers for the actual event to dress in costumes.
