How to Organize Family Fun Day Activities

As a preschool teacher, you can take the following steps to organize a family fun day:

• Talk to the school authorities about hosting a family fun day. Seek their support regarding hosting the event and review the necessary policies regarding it. • Contact the physical exercise teacher to discuss what physical activities and drills should be performed at the event. • Select a time and date that suits everyone. It would be advisable to organize this event around a national holiday. • Invite local businesses that are associated with a product that promotes healthy lifestyle and ask them to demonstrate their product (wellness check, nutritious food, exercise bike etc.) • Distribute prizes to good performers at the end of the event.

Entertainment Tips

• Make directions on pictures as to where and what time these activities are happening. It would be convenient for everyone. • Keep fun games and activity booths that are age appropriate with little equipment and simple instruction. • Create fun activities such as parachute launch, petting zoo, fish pond, water balloon, tug of war, basketball knockout, face painting, relay races etc.

These are certain important elements that will definitely help you organize a successful family fun day at preschool.
