How to get a BIG CROWD at your School Carnival or Festival without spending a dime? It’s pretty easy - simply follow these steps! 1. Have an Art Contest for the kids. The winner from each grade gets some free tickets to use at the carnival. 2. Sell Pre-Sale Tickets (for a small discount of course) This encourages folks to SAVE THE DATE! 3. Ask parents and teachers to volunteer for at least 1 hour before, during or after your carnival. For more hint and tip and doodles of FREE Game Ideas - visit
