Get organising. Your doodle pack will be sent out six weeks before the event date. In the meantime check out our ‘Tips for organisers’ section below and keep an eye on our downloadable section of the website.
This year, National Doodle Day is on Friday 5 March 2010 however your event can take place whenever suits you best.
Once you have received your organiser’s pack all you need to do is get as many students doodling as possible to be in with a chance of your school winning one of our four prize categories.
For every doodle entered we ask for a suggested donation £1. So by taking part your students will not only be doodling among thousands of others, but at the same time they will be making a real difference by raising funds for two national charities.
Once all your students have submitted their doodle and £1 donation, select a doodle to represent your school for your chance to win a fantastic prize for your school.
Deadline for returning doodles is Friday 2 April 2010. When sending your doodle please remember to included the name of your chosen doodler along with your cheque to the value of donations collected.
Cheques should be made payable to National Doodle Day and returned to:

- Primary: £500 worth of stationery products
- Secondary: £500 worth of stationery products
- Nursery: £250 worth of stationery products
- Sixth form: £250 worth of stationery products
As well as the school prizes, the winning doodler from each category will win, for their school, a copy of the Usborne Book of Drawing, Doodling and Colouring (kindly donated by Usborne Children Books).
Here are a few tips and ideas to make the most of your National Doodle Day event:
- Get as many people doodling as possible!
- Design some posters to put up around your school advertising your doodle event. Alternatively you can download a doodle poster from the downloadable section of our website
- Advertise your event on the school's website
- Check out this year’s celebrity gallery for inspiration.
- There are no rules about what constitutes a doodle – so let your imagination run wild!
- Why not create a ‘doodle gallery’ to brighten up the school hall, corridors and reception areas - we would love to see pictures of your doodle displays – please remember to send them with your donation and chosen doodle.
- Remember, this years’ theme is ‘all about you’ but why not come up with your own?
- Remember to tell your local paper!
- Try to get parents or your local community involved.
- Above all, remember to have fun!
- Doodle to music
- Ask pupils at the end of a class to sum up what they have learnt in a doodle
- Have a doodle race
