  3. 3Check the winning themes against the inclusion slide before you announce them.
  4. 4Use the pep rally slides to pick Friday's games, then post the final schedule on the morning announcements.

Questions people ask

What are good spirit week ideas?
Pajama Day, Twin Day, Hat Day, Decades Day, Jersey Day, Book Character Day, Color Wars and School Colors Day. Pick themes every student can join without buying anything.
What are fun pep rally games?
Tug of war by grade, a hula hoop pass, relay races, musical chairs with staff, a cheer-off and a balloon pop relay. Keep each game short so the crowd stays loud.
