Geography Action- Geo-Games Kit

Wrap-Up Logistics Before the Big Event

Two weeks before the event, arrange for at least two wrap-up meetings with your planning team
to cover the following priorities:
 

•         Activities and Prizes—Have all the activities been confirmed, supplies gathered, and ample space mapped out in the event space for each activity? 

•         Volunteers—Have ample volunteers joined the event team and accepted positions of responsibility?  Are all the activities covered?

•         Promotion—Are students, parents, and community members excited about the upcoming event?  Have posters and maps been placed strategically throughout the school and local community?  The week before and the day before your event, make reminder calls to the media, send reminder notes to teachers and parents, and make school-wide announcements to students.

•       Photos—Assign one or more photographers for event day.  It’s important to capture moments from the day’s activities on film.  Make multiple copies of the Personal Release form in this kit and have families sign them at the Geo-Games registration table. When you send event photos to the National Geographic, you’ll already have permission for publication.
