How to Prepare for Your Super Splash Party Event

Big Event Super Splash Party Checklist

Our goal is for all of our big events to be exceptional in the eyes of your students. In fact, the more memorable it is, the more your students will talk about it to their peers. This will have a positive effect on future fundraisers as well.

There are some things that you’ll need to do to prepare for your super splash party event before your inflatable company shows up. For example, should your event take place on the grass or on the playground, and where do you want your students to store their extra pair of clothes and towel during the party? Your goal is for your event to run smoothly and for your students to have a great experience.

Here are the steps to help you get ready:

1. Contact Your Volunteers:

• All volunteers should arrive at least 30 minutes before the start of the super splash party. They will be asked to attend a brief inflatable safety presentation.
• Volunteers may get wet so inform them about appropriate dress.
• Staff who will be participating in the ‘soak your favorite teacher’ event will get wet. Make sure they dress accordingly. Learn more
• Obtaining volunteers is your group’s responsibility (at least 10-15 volunteers are required).

2. Locate Outlets:

• Identify all available electrical outlets at the event location (Only if gas generators will not be used).
• Make sure at least 2 hose faucets have been identified. They must be relatively close to where the inflatables will be set up.

3. Secure a Large Hard Surface Area:

• Make sure that a large concrete or asphalt area has been cleared and reserved at least 2 hours before the start of the event.
• If a parking lot will be used, please make sure that everyone knows to park in an alternate location.

4. Plan for a Safe Event:

• Review and enforce our safety rules.
• No running allowed at any time.
• Announce proper student attire:
  • One-piece bathing suits are recommended for girls and shorts for boys.
  • Everyone must also wear a shirt. Dark shirts are suggested.
  • We recommend sending a note home with the sellers the day before the event reminding them to bring:
    • An extra pair of clothes
    • A towel

5. Have Additional Supplies:

• Many inflatable companies do not provide a money wheel.
  • If you are unable to provide your own, we suggest that you do something like Jump for George instead.
  • We recommend not setting up your money wheel or money machine until the end when you have your awards ceremony.
• Please provide one table and a few chairs (The chairs are for the volunteers).
• Ensure that students who qualified have filled out the soak your favorite teacher form.
• We recommend that you provide music at your party.

6. Promote Your Event:

• Get your group excited by making periodic announcements before the show date.
• Arrange to have someone at your super splash party from your local newspaper or TV station.
• Take pictures during the event and create a display for all to see.
