Opposite Day! Dress like your favorite TV or movie or book character day. Dress like a teacher day. ---

Sacrificing one of their own, selected by lottery, to a Pagan God(dess). Good times all around. Well, except for the victim. ---

Could you do a movie day (or afternoon)? The kids can end the day by paying a buck and watching a movie. Maybe sell popcorn and let them dress like the characters. Or make a contest and whoever collects the most money gets to pick the movie (from a predetermined list). ---

Voodoo day - have every teacher bring in a doll to represent themselves, and charge per pin to stick in. Get laughs at who’s “most hated”. ---

How about selling Valentines? We used to sell lollipops that the kids could write messages on and then they would be delivered to the other students. ---
