Oh, and last week my older girls mentioned they had each done an in class project with a "mad scientist" (one made "snow", the other made slime).</p> <p>Generally, something interactive is preferred - the kids like it when they get to stand up to sing/dance, answer questions from the presenter, or actually "do" something (mix slime, touch a snake, etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-assemblies#post-2928096 Wed, 15 Mar 2023 12:13:02 +0000 LadyDi 2928096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I volunteered through our PTA to chair school assemblies next year. There hasn't been an assembly from an outside group since before Covid so I have no experience with this (my son is in 2nd grade). I just wanted to get a sense of what assemblies have been at your schools and what your kids seem to enjoy so I can start researching what's available in my area. </p>
