in exchange!

4. #2: Choose the Torment
Ask students, teachers,
parents and staff in your
group to make $1
donations as the price of
a vote. They can then vote
on the type of “torment”
to inflict on the most well
known teacher or staff
member.
What kind of torment? Dying hair
the school color, or dressing up as a
clown for the whole day!
The classroom with the most donations
gets to submit a creative torment idea.

6. #4: Teacher Auctions
Step

This works well if the teachers at your school
are well known by all students and parents.
Organize an event (you can make it around the
holiday time or Valentine’s day) to auction off
each teacher along with a “date” activity.
The teachers get to decide what special “date”
they will offer – cooking lessons, personal
science museum tour guide, private sports
coaching!

7. #5: Mini-marathon or Mini Run
Use a online
platform like
Piggybackr to
organize your
students and
their donations.
Students get
pledges from
their family and
friends for each
lap they
complete.
The goal is for
each student to
do 32 laps
around your
school or field.
Hold a mini-
marathon or
fun run at your
school.
