At a Christmas fair, you can browse stalls for artisan gifts, crafts, and festive decorations, enjoy seasonal treats like mulled wine and mince pies, and visit Santa's grotto. Activities often include games (tombola, raffle), live performances, cookie decorating, and face painting, making them ideal for family, community, or school fundraising.
The rest of the fair consists of the canteen and other PTA-run stalls, including tombolas, raffle, sweets, cakes, popcorn, biscuit decorating, lucky dip, test your strength, a buzzer game, Scalextric races, nail painting, face painting and glitter tattoos.
Create a floor plan, outlining where each activity will go. If any elements are going to be outside, put a wet weather contingency plan in place. Carry out a risk assessment for each element of your fair, as well as for the overall event. Ask stallholders to complete them using last year's version as a guide.
How many presents does an average child get at Christmas?
There is no magic number but the general consensus seems to be between three toys or gifts up to, potentiall around five. There will be many factors that contribute to this decisions; how many children you have, what presents other family members may buy, how old your children are and, of course, budget.
Christmas gifts are often exchanged on Christmas Eve (December 24), Christmas Day itself (December 25) or on the last day of the twelve-day Christmas season, Twelfth Night (January 5).
One minute games are fun activities requiring participants to complete a challenge within sixty seconds. Examples include the Gravity Game, Lonely Socks, and Scoop It Up.
