Hi, I am having trouble figuring out what to do for a fun high school events as class president (can't be corny or boring.) Our date is February 2 and we live in Boston so we can't do anything outdoors. The class advisors are not letting us get buses and go somewhere so we are limited to our school. We've done dances in the past, they go average. And we have done a hypnotist night which went very well, but we've done it already. Any other ideas? We've thought up of a movie night, a talent show-anything that you can think of would help.
Thanks.

Nit from Newton

I think that you should try and host a school wide mission impossible game on a Thursday night. Have all of the students show up when it gets dark. Have boundaries at the school, or host it in a public facility in which they are allowed to go etc. Make sure that the person that is stranded or kidnapped supposedly is far enough away from the starting point to make it more of a challenge. There could be a search light that you can have or even just a light bulb beside a building that shows where the kids have to point to. I hope that this works out for you if you decide to give it a try.

A Special Party Welcome
Mimi games, Celebrity heads, Musical chairs, Musical statuaries, Who am I, Pass the mike, Wildcats Optical coarse, Birthday Party Treats

Serve traditional theater fare, such as popcorn, soda, large boxes of candy and hot dogs.
Karaoke, Pass the Passel, Selinet ball, Wildcats Pennants, Pen the kiss on troy, The chocolate game, Soccer game, Search for the Cell Phones
After Boys go, Dance Competition

Ingredients
Slips of Paper
Hat
To Play
Label one piece of paper with the word Murderer.
Put slips of paper into a hat. The number of papers should be the same as the number of guests.
Have your guests each choose one slip of paper; they should not show it to anyone else.
Each slip of paper will be blank except of one that says "Murderer."
The guest who picks "Murderer" has to walk around the party and "kill" people by winking at them. As soon as one of the guests is winked at, he/she has to count to three and then fall on the floor.
If someone knows who the murderer is, they have to say, "Stop! I know who the Murderer is." If the accuser is wrong, then he/she is "dead" and out of the game. If the accuser is correct, then the game is over, and he/she is the winner.
Truth or Dare

Ingredients: Just add guests! To play
Gather your guests into a group and have a seat. Choose one person to begin.
The "beginner" gets to choose who goes first by asking someone "Truth or dare?"
The chosen person must respond either "Truth" or "Dare." If he/she responds "Truth", then he/she must respond truthfully to any question asked. If he/she responds, "Dare" he/she must perform a dare that is presented to him/her no matter what.
Prizes are not usually awarded. However, if the host/hostess chooses, small prizes can be awarded for dares once they are successfully completed.
 Party poppers
Here are some fun things that can be done to the first people who fall asleep knowledge of this should keep the party going for quite a while.
Put the sleeper's hand in warm water- this is supposed to induce them to have to go to the bathroom
Throw someone's panties/bra in the freezer
Place a rubber snake on the pillow of an "early sleeper"
Put shaving cream on a sleeper's hand and then tickle their nose with a feather. Isn't a face full of shaving cream what all "Party Poopers" deserve?

Watch Movies

Another idea is a school wide fear factor challenge for those who do want to participate. Have everyone stand in a row and place each item in front of them to eat and whom ever doesnt complete the task is eliminated. you may also do the same for the other activities in fear factor like obstacle relay and the bottom two r eliminated. Eventually leading to the winner. Food items may include mustard, ket, and relish in one; sardines; etc.

A person said DDR towards the top, we do that our school too. Everyone loves it. We do it in our school commons, use a projector and a 15 by 15 screen it is so much fun!
Cake Walk: people love dessert.
Water Dunk Booth: teachers get dunked
Inflatable moon walks and obstacle courses: always fun.
Teacher Appreciation Day (if running is a good idea to propose)
Beautification Day: have students volunteer three hours on a saturday and sunday and plan flowers around the school (with school's permission and guidance)
Hope I've helped!

one fun thing they did at my school is that they had a lunch time activity called "Cheeseball Splat!" it iwas cool
what u need
2 pair of goggles
whip cream or shaving cream
and cheeseballs

the concept~
what u do is that u get 4 ppl . out of the school and have 2 kids on each team ..
then u have one of them be the person that puts on the goggles and fill there face up with whipcream or shaving cream .. and there other team membergets like 30 cheeseballs each and tries to make them on the other persons face..(making them stick) and who ever has the most on there face wins(and u go till the first person runs out)
and also set up ur music stero! it keeps them motivated!!

I'm also running for student body president, and these ideas are awesome! One of my ideas is to have an "amazing race" basically, we would films the teams and give them activities to do and they next day we show the footage in the caf...Just like a real show!! Also, I don't know if you guys have heard of Dance dance revolution but it's HUGE at your school, so we have DDR tournaments! all you need is a playstation 2 and some people who have the game! you charge like 50 cent a game, and we make a lot of money

What about a charity carnival? We used to do this in the gym. Different groups or teams can come up with game booths and prizes - and keep the price low - usually 25 cents or so to play the game. There can be competitions for best themed booth, best game, most money raised, etc... and the proceeds can go to charity. There should be tons of great game booth ideas online.

We did a fundraiser/activity where each person who volunteered made an anonymous picnic basket filled with their favortie things for two. No one knew who made them. Then each basket was bid upon and the winner got a date with the maker and the profits went to the class.

I don't know if you will find this corny but why not have a money raising event such as a rummage sale or something. Maybe donate the money or keep it for the school. Have kids bring in clothes that they don't wear anymore and sell them.

Or maybe have a chili sale. If it is cool in Boston, the chili will sell. Just ideas.

Hopefully you don't find them lame??

I know you might think that this wouldn't work for the guys, but i think you would be surprised..
What about a spa party...And what i mean by that
is getting some Arbonne products and have different
stations, like a foot scrub and soak (which they do themselves) and then a facial station, then a hand station..... or you could make it fun and have the guys put makeup on the girls just to see how good they do..If you would like to purchase these items or if you would like for me to donate some, just let me know..
thanks

Sure seems long ago. One fun raiser my school held was a movie marathon. It ran for 18 hours. You buy one ticket, and could come and go as you please. Disney did not allow their movies to be shown on Sat. Sunday was okay though. A schedule was posted with approximate times. It was great. A couple of old black and whites, Hitchcock, Godzilla movies, Disney and (I'm dating myself here) Rock movies Tommy and Pink Floyd the Wall.

Now, a few movie theater chains will rent out a theater to a class and they sell the tickets. (If you can do some fund raisers away from school.

Another idea. During Homecoming (or Rival week) we sold spirit chains. $.05 a link. Each class had their own chain hanging from the celing (high celings). (the rivalry was if someone donated a penny, it removed a link - wasn't always used.)
Use your school colors. each class gets a color, seniors can use all of the colors. Your expenses will be small. Construction paper, tape or staples, string (for hanging from the ceiling and jars to collect the money.) And someone to stand on a ladder.

Good Luck

Hi~Two fun things that have been done in my area are, a talent show for the guys, everyone pays to get in the show, each young man in the show has a bag or box w/his photo on it, the young ladies then buy tickets and put them in the box/bag of the young man they are interested in, and at the end of the night the young men each choose a ticket from their box/bag and that is their date for a pre-arranged afternoon or evening of fun, like bowling and pizza, and all the men and their dates go to this pre-arranged party (paid for by the group sponsoring the show). In the two years we have been doing this, it has become a big hit! And good money maker! And the talent show has such a wide variety of acts, from hilarious to very, very talented. It was a big hit!

The other thing is a party or dance, with location unkown, and people buy tickets to this dance/party, and have to drive or walk to different locations, like stores or offices that would be open, to get clues to take them to the next location, to get another clue, and end up finally getting a clue that tells them where the event is going to be. So it's like a scavenger hunt, and you can have prizes for the first people to arrive at the party, and the best dressed or what ever...very fun!

How about getting a stand up comedian? If you get one that does not do dirty jokes your school adminstration will probably agree. Check your alumni list you might already have someone who graduated who would be willing to donate a show and maybe even bring some friends along. Hope this helps
