Themes, Decorations and Contest Ideas for Your Next Spirit Week or Pep Rally

Would you love some fun ideas for your upcoming pep rallies or spirit week?  We have a TON of ideas in the Cheerleading Coaching Center and here are some to get your started:

Themes and Decorations:

  1. Color Excitement:  Have balloons in a variety of colors hanging in a net and release them as the assembly closes.
  2. Old Fashion Field Day: Play fun old school games; think 3 legged race or wheel barrow race.
  3. Light it up: Turn off the gym lights and break out the glow sticks, cell phones or flashlights.

 

Competitions and Games:

  1. T-Shirt Design Contest:  Have students compete and have your administration choose the top 5. Let the students vote and sell the winning shirt during spirit week.
  2. Class Cheer Battle: Have each class create a cheer and have a good old fashion cheer battle at the pep rally.
  3. Poster Contest: Have clubs, sports teams, and homerooms compete and hang them in the halls for spirit.
  4. Students VS Teachers: Play old school games but change it up with teachers vs students.
  5. Tug of War: Choose 20 students from each class and tug it out at your next assembly!
