Fundraising For A School Doesn't Have To Come Out Of The Parent's Pocket
So your school has decided to sell The Entertainment Book as a fundraiser. How do you go about doing it? How does a fundraiser work? How do you get the children motivated to sell books? Here are 6 tips for successful school fundraisers. These tips will help with selling the Entertainment Book or any other fundraiser taking place at your school.
Set Kids up for Success with a Selling Script.
If a student in a school fundraiser is selling gourmet chocolates, suggest saying, 'These candies are so good that they've been served at the White House!' Or, if selling the Entertainment Book, students can say, 'Mom, I know you're really tired tonight. Why don't you buy this Entertainment Book to help my school fundraiser and we can go out to dinner and save 50% using one of the coupons!'
Use the Internet to Easily Sell to Out-of-Town Supporters. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and close family friends are more than happy to help school children raise money for their school. Parents can send emails to ask out-of-town family and friends to help your school fundraiser. Entertainment Books feature easy-to-use email tools so students and parents can quickly send a prewritten email that is customized with their information to supporters who live far away. Your school fundraiser earns credit on all online sales and your students earn prize credit.
Motivate & Reward Your Top Sellers. The Entertainment Book offers a free prize program for elementary school fundraisers. Plus children love silly rewards for successful school fundraisers. Consider letting the top sellers decide what silly outfit the principal or a favorite teacher has to wear. Or have classrooms compete - the teacher of the winning classroom has to do something outrageous like kiss a frog, color their hair green, eat green eggs and ham, etc. Be sure to talk to local merchants and ask them to donate products or gift certificates as rewards for your top student sellers.
Plan Fun School Fundraiser Kick-off Events. Plan a fun kick-off assembly to get kids excited for your school fundraiser. Show the great prizes they can earn and get them excited about what they are raising money for. The Entertainment Book's fundraising experts will help you plan and even put on a great assembly. Be sure to stress to students that they should only sell to people they or their parents know. Don't go door-to-door and don't sell to strangers.
Know the Right Time to Raise Money. Holidays and exams are generally not ideal times for fundraising drives. Academic success is the priority for kids in school, and fundraisers should never interfere with that. Parents will also appreciate your consideration, and support the fundraiser more enthusiastically.
Get Parents, Teachers & Kids Involved. Ask other parents and teachers to help with your school fundraiser. The old adage, 'many hands make quick work' is especially true with school fundraising. At a minimum, you'll want volunteers to help with promotions/communications, tallying and distributing orders to make your school fundraiser a snap. Older students can also be a big help. Ask teachers if 1-2 students in their classrooms can help with collecting orders, making posters and product deliveries.

Toys and Games for Kids - Favorite Gifts of 2007
With 2007 now behind us I thought it would be a great idea to reflect on some of last year’s best selling gifts for children. These gifts were particularly hot during the Christmas season, but I believe they will continue to be favorite gift items for birthdays and special occasions. Here are the top 5 best sellers.
Floating Duck Radio
All kids love rubber ducks or bath toys. This floating duck is no ordinary duck, it is also a radio with two frequencies – AM and FM. The frequencies and channels can be adjusted by twisting the duck’s tail. The radio switches on and off by turning the duck’s head clockwise and anti-clockwise. This is truly an ingenious way to keep your kids entertained in the bath and for the adult to enjoy their favorite radio station at the same time. It is an inexpensive gift with amazing sound quality.
Remote Controlled Bumper Cars
I remember loving these bumper car rides at the amusement park and now you can enjoy them in the comfort of your own home! Imagine all the fun without the knocks and bangs that you would experience behind the wheel. These remote control bumper cars race along a smooth surface. The realistic movements of the cars make crazy turns in an attempt to hit one of their opponent's 3 sensors. Hit all 3 to disable the opponent’s car and win the game.
Sudoku Sudocube
Certain 3D puzzles were extremely popular over the Christmas season. The Sudocube was a best seller. It combines the challenge of the popular sudoku puzzle and the fun of a rubik’s design. The sudocube is not only fun, it is also educational and a great way to stimulate and motivate both kids and adults alike.
Slingshot Flying Monkey and Frog
These relatively inexpensive and fun toys were best sellers all year round. There must be something about screaming monkeys and frogs making croaking noises when hoisted in the air! Whatever the reason, the slingshot flying monkey and frog are absolutely hilarious, fun and a must have. The flying monkey is dressed mysteriously in a cape and mask just like a super hero. Both the frog and monkey can fly and travel 50 feet – just put two fingers in the hand pockets, pull back it’s strong elastic arms and let go.
Gelli Baff
Imported from the UK and currently not available anywhere in the US except at MyRedPacket.com is the award winning Gelli Baff! Kids simply can't get enough of Gelli Baff. Simply run your bath 2 or 3 inches deep, turn off the tap, add Gelli Baff and watch in amazement as your boring bath water magically turns into a fun thick goo
