Ideas and Best Practices:
•
Play kid-friendly, theme-related music.
•
Decorate beyond the Book Fair—have a classroom door decorating contest.
•
Recommend popular titles that go well together with a shelf-talker or simple sticky notes, while
also reminding shoppers of the Buy One, Get One Free opportunity.
•
Encourage everyone to wear tie-dye, fringe, and bell bottoms for the week.
•
Leading up to the Fair, ask students to create art in a style from the 1960s.
•
Use your Scholastic Dollars™ to buy a Book Fair decorating kit, while supplies last.*
Inflate six balloons, five for
petals, one for the flower
center. Then, attach to the
covered wall.
Create suspense with a
countdown sign outside
the doors of your Fair.
