School leavers party

[Joann3h]

Hi all, looking to pick some brains. I’m organising my DD’s Y6 leavers party and looking for some ideas. The school are obviously doing one for the kids but the parents have all come together to do one as well. We have organised the venue, DJ, assault course, bouncy castle, food and decorations so far. I’m looking for anything else we could have, nothing to expensive I’m trying to get the kids as much as possible for their £25. I’m also looking for ideas for the keepsake t-shirts are out as the class ranges in size from age 7 to a medium mans!

In our class they asked us each to secretly provide a 'first day of school photo' and an up to date photo (not originals, colour photo copies or similar). They mixed them all up on a collage on the board so you could try and find everyone. More for the parents but the kids loved it too!

For my DC's someone made a large picture frame type board with "school name leavers 2020" and hung it on a clothes rack and got lots of props and the parents took it in turns to be photographer. Cheap alternative to a photo booth.
Our school also got autograph books and a pen for each of the kids to sign for each other.
Keyrings with class photos in.

Keepsake....a graduoke video. Our school did this, loved it.

We did a graduation video for my DS's class, the parents collected school pictures of their children and we composed it into a slideshow that showed how much they've changed. Also added one of their school band's song as a soundtrack to the vid, and everyone loved it. The whole thing was done via online slideshow maker from free-online-slideshow-creator.com/ but I'm sure there are many more programs that can be useful for that.
