We had a very successful Pot-Luck Dinner and "Science Night". The teachers set up really neat hands-on experiments in each classroom that took roughly ten minutes each. Before the science portion started we had dinner and the teachers came down and grabbed people as they finished to start the experiments. We had a great response...

Hobby Night would rock!

Maybe you could get a local craft store involved, like "Michaels" or ??

You could also check with local model train enthusiasts, a local camera shop - learn how to take pictures without your thumb in the way.

Find someone to give a short talk on how to buy/sell on ebay!

I like the above post; it would dovetail nicely with our winter offerings of classes in a variety of hobbies, crafts, dance, and the like. Having a night like that would be great as long as there was an outlet provided for the interest created by all the wonderful stations.

I am 1 day away from finishing our auction/raffle & craft fair. We have the kids in the craft fair making gifts for the holidays with about 16 different craft stations plus bingo, freeze dance and the mummy wrap. We have snacks, gift bags, balloons & prizes. We have a silent auction & raffle for the adults at the same time with snacks for the adults as well. (Although the kids have a special raffle section for them only) Its a great way to involve the whole family and yet have time apart. Hopefully it will be successful. This would be a great spring activity for Mother's, Father's or Grandparent's day. But I also really like the family feud/quiz game idea.

I've thought along the lines of a game night too. Our school is organizing a "Knowledge Bowl" and hoping to compete within the country against other international school that we usually compete against athletically. The PTO just okayed the purchase of a buzzer system for it. Anyway, I'll do more checking into this and let you know.
