Special events held at school can include...

• Bingo and other games
• Holiday dances
• Sports games - school teams vs. teachers, or try mixing things up--a volleyball game with the basketball team vs. the baseball team.  How about one foreign language club vs. another?
• School Club contests - chess matches, etc.
  

Whatever you do, make the event FUN and safe!
