If you’re looking for school fete entertainment in Warwick, inflatables can be a fun addition to your event. They give students something active to do and can easily sit alongside the other activities you’ve already planned.
We provide inflatable entertainment for school fetes, fundraising days, school carnivals and sports events. If you’re not sure what would work best, our team can help you choose an option based on your students, venue and available space.
1. Start with a Jumping Castle
Jumping castles are always a popular choice for younger students.They’re easy to understand, don’t require complicated rules and give children somewhere to burn off some energy while the rest of the fete is happening.
Before choosing one, have a look at:
- The ages of the children using it
- How much space you have available
- Expected attendance
- Where you’ll place the inflatable
- Who will supervise it
2. Give Older Students a Challenge
If your fete includes older primary students, an inflatable obstacle course can be a better fit.There’s a bit more competition involved, which makes it easy to turn the activity into races between friends, classes or groups.
An obstacle course can work well for:
- School fetes
- Fundraising days
- Sports events
- School carnivals
- End-of-year celebrations
For School Event Entertainment, we find that activities where students can actually take part often add a lot of energy to the event.
3. Mix Inflatables with Other Activities
You don’t need to build your entire fete around inflatables.In fact, having a mixture of activities usually works better. Students can move between different areas depending on what they feel like doing.
You could include:
- Jumping castles
- Obstacle courses
- Sports Inflatables
- Face painting
- Lucky dips
- Raffles
- Food and drink stalls
- Market stalls
- Live performances
- Traditional fete games
4. Think About the Different Age Groups
If you’re organising a fete for a whole school, you’ll probably have children of quite different ages attending.What works for a Prep student may not be nearly as exciting for an older primary student.
When looking at Inflatable Hire in Warwick, think about who will actually be using the equipment.
Consider:
- Student ages
- Number of students
- Expected visitors
- Available space
- Length of the event
- Other activities you’ve already booked
5. Sort Out the Setup Early
One thing that’s easy to overlook is where everything is actually going to go.Before the fete, work out where you want the inflatable and make sure there is enough room for people to get around it safely.
You’ll also want to check:
- The ground or surface
- Access for our delivery team
- Power requirements
- Entry and exit areas
- Space for queues
- Where parents and spectators will stand
- Supervision arrangements
- Weather conditions
We’ll also discuss the requirements of your chosen inflatable with you beforehand, so you know what needs to be ready.
6. Keep Safety in Mind
With a school event, safety needs to be part of the planning from the beginning.We regularly inspect and maintain our commercial-grade inflatables, and we make sure the equipment is properly set up before students start using it. We also carrie $20 million in Public Liability Insurance, giving schools additional peace of mind when planning their event.
Depending on what your school needs, trained operators can also assist with supervision.
If your school is handling the supervision itself, we’ll brief your nominated supervisors during setup and explain the relevant operating and safety requirements.
It’s then important to make sure students follow the rules and that suitable supervision continues while the inflatable is being used.
7. Take Some Pressure Off Teachers and Volunteers
School fetes already involve a lot of people doing different jobs. Teachers and parent volunteers may be looking after stalls, helping students, managing fundraising activities or simply trying to keep the day running smoothly.That’s why we take care of the inflatable side for you.
Our service includes:
- Delivery
- Professional setup
- Pack-down
- Setup instructions
- Safety briefing
- Supervision if required
If you tell us a little about your event, we can also help you work out which entertainment option is likely to suit your school.
8. Have a Plan for the Weather
If you’re holding your fete outdoors, it’s worth thinking about the weather before the day arrives.Queensland weather can change, so make sure your event plan takes the conditions into account.
It’s a good idea to have:
- Shaded areas
- Drinking water
- Places for students to rest
- Suitable supervision
- A plan if weather affects the event
