1. Thrift Store Fashion Show
Submitted by: on November 13, 1998
Materials: *optional - spot lights, strobe lights, black lights, dance music
Messy Rating: No Sweat
Duration: 20-40 minutes
Cost: $5.00
Load up all of you students in the bus or van and take them to the local Thrift Store. (Announce prior to the event for each student to bring $5).
When you arrive, give the students 15 minutes to go in, find an outfit that costs $5 total, and come back and get on the bus.
Return to the church, where you will conduct a fashion show, where each student gets to show off their $5 outfit.
It makes it a lot of fun to have dance music and lights going if you have the resources. Also it's great for the Pastor or one of the sponsors to take down all of the information and narrate the show.
For example, if Johnny bought Levis Jeans and a vintage boy scout shirt, the narrator, would announce that as Johnny walked out on stage.
This is just great fun, gives kids the chance to have a minute in the spotlight, and many of the kids will buy clothes that they'd actually wear again!
