How to run your GYGG event

In this section you will find a range of activities to help Get Your Grown-ups Growing. We would recommend that you make the event as light-hearted as possible and include a range of activities for children and adults.

It could also be a good idea to provide some food and drinks (maybe the PTA could get involved in this), especially if people are working hard for a long time – and for a bit of fun, a raffle or competition might encourage more families to attend. You may even choose to limit the number of children and adults involved during school time and then hold a bigger event after school finishes to which a larger number of grown-ups can be invited.
