The traditional spirit pep assembly needs an update. Cheering on the football team was never a way to build inclusion or celebrate your school’s diversity.

But it’s not too late to change the culture at your school!

Upgrade your assemblies to celebrate individual talents, school spirit, and friendly competition, as well as recognize all students.

This flip deck is a collection of tried-and-true favorites, twists on classics, and new ideas with room for you and your leaders to add your own favorites! Plus blank cards for students to collect their own!

Included in this Pep Spirit Assembly Game flip deck

Detailed how-to activity idea cards for each of these six components:

• Build Ups to hype up classmates before the assembly
• Transitions to move smoothly from one event to the next
• Bleacher Competitions to engage the whole school
• Large Group Competitions to include many or all students in the fun
• Class Rep Competitions to create a little class competition
• Student Recognitions to honor everyone for their gifts

This handy, stash-anywhere flip deck is universal enough to help you and your student council group create lasting meaning out of the time your school meets together as one.

I wanted my leadership students to have more impact on school culture, and host assemblies to foster school spirit. This resource gave me the tools to give the kids a little bit of structure and accountability for their assembly planning, while encouraging them to plan ahead and be creative. Thank you so much for these wonderful resources, they are such a huge help! – Adeana
