We are looking for people to plan and lead activities, crafts, workshops and performances. Please propose your ideas using this form. If you have any questions you can contact Jessie at
JessieGDAE@gmail.com. Some general guidelines are provided to help you, but feel free to think outside the box too.
PROPOSED IDEAS SHOULD BE:
- Fun for kids
- Chaos-tolerant (those long orderly lines of kids waiting to do a craft that you sometimes see at others festivals are not something that we believe in at the Kids' Tent)
- Goofy, enlightening, uplifting, educational, or all of the above
- Easy for volunteers to understand in order to help you
- Easy for parents to understand in order to help their children
- Adaptable to weather conditions (we have a large tent as well as an open area available - but rain and wind happen regularly)
- Adaptable to different group sizes (often 10-20, sometimes up to 50)
- Done in a way that minimizes waste, both in process and in result (activities: are the supplies/equipment reusable? crafts: will kids actually want to take it home and keep it awhile? does it require long drying times or anything else that might lead it to be abandoned at the tent?)
Please propose an entire program (lasting 45 minutes or more), or specify if your idea would be best as part of a bigger package. For example, for crafts we often like to have 2 or 3 going at once; you can submit a few together, or submit one and mention that you'd like us to pair it with others.
If proposing more than one program (multiple blocks of 45 minutes or more), please just submit the form again for each one.
