Tips for organisers

Here are a few tips and ideas to make the most of your National Doodle Day event:

• Get as many people involved as you can!

• To get people involved why not design some posters to put up around your school?

• You could advertise the event on the school website

• You could run your own Doodle day competition at school before sending on the doodles.

• 

  Last year, some pupils were asked at the end of a class to sum up what they had just learned in a doodle – and it seemed to greatly improve their learning!

• Create a ‘doodle gallery’ to brighten up the school hall, corridors and reception areas

• You could doodle to music – one teacher said this created her most peaceful lesson ever!

• Anyone of any age can take part, and that includes pupils as well as teachers!

• Pupils and staff can enter as individuals or as a whole school, part school or class.

• You can enter as many times as you like – it just means more money for the charities concerned!

• Why not get parents or even your local community involved?

• Remember to tell your local paper. They are bound to be interested!

• There are no rules about what constitutes a doodle – just let your imagination take over and enjoy yourself!

• This years’ theme is ‘doodle daydreams’. But why not come up with your own?

• Check out the celebrity Gallery for inspiration.

• Above all, remember to have fun!
