Children LOVE trucks—their flashing lights, big wheels, loud noises! Bring the excitement of real trucks to children in your community.Families will appreciate the opportunity to let kids see and touch for themselves!
Prep Steps:
1) Contact authorities and owners of interesting vehicles that would be willing to park their truck for a few hours in a central spot on a weekend, and that would let children and families touch the inside and outside of the truck. Think about fire engines, UPS or Fed Ex trucks, ambulances, a dump truck, a Post Office truck, etc.
2) Determine how much you will charge for this event. Will you charge per truck, or a flat fee (our recommendation)?
3) Create and distribute flyers advertising the truck touch.
4) Recruit volunteers to sit and monitor each truck.
Materials Needed:
1) Donated trucks
2) Flyers
Helpful Hints:
• Invite an employee from companies to volunteer their time to demonstrate special features and answer questions.
• This is a great fundraiser to combine with a food sale.
