Rally Spirit

Spirit rallies are a great opportunity to help promote school spirit. Listed below are some easy ideas to implement to make your rallies more spirited:

1. Begin each rally with a cheer. The class that is the loudest and most spirited during the rally is given the “Spirit Stick”.
2. Hold a raffle / drawing during the rally. For example, every student wearing school colors the morning of the rally is given a raffle ticket, which will be drawn at the rally.
3. Create class spirit signs and pennants. The class with the best and most signs get points towards the “Spirit Stick”.
4. Create class spirit noise makers.
5. Have class competitions during your rally. Make sure these competitions are visual so everyone in the gym can see.
6. Constantly change the themes of your rallies and have ongoing skits throughout the rally that supports your theme.
7. Involve faculty in your rallies. The students love to see the faculty act silly.
8. Keep your performances short, no longer than two minutes. Long routines can destroy a rally.
9. Remember a rally is the best time to get students excited about their school. So be sure to plan,plan, and plan!
