Film the production either yourselves or with the help of a local cameraman, preferably at a charitable rate. If you’re planning to fi lm it yourselves, ensure you have the appropriate equipment, for example a tripod to keep things stable, and that the camera takes good-quality video – you are selling the footage, after all.

Bedtime stories Invite children and their parents to come to school in their pyjamas for an evening of


bedtime stories. Have three storytellers, each in their own classroom. Pupils go to each room to hear a 10-minute story, and after this time move onto the next room (if you have lots of pupils, divide them into groups and rotate them around the classrooms). To make it festive, have three Christmas stories – you could even have guest storytellers, such as an elf, a snowman or Mrs Claus! Gather everyone together in the school hall afterwards for refreshments and a visit from Santa, complete with presents. Charge £3-£4 per child depending on costs.
