We sent out postcards and flyers to advertise and took orders for pizza for each family that signed up. (We asked that each family that ordered pizza pay $5 to cover the cost, but admission to the movie was free. We also provided a free snack and dessert.)We decided to show the movie Dolphin Tale, so we decorated our eating and viewing areas with island and ocean decorations that we had leftover from some camps and VBSs. We encouraged people to bring their beach chairs and gave prizes to kids who came dressed in tropical or beach themed outfits (not swimsuits). We also found some free activity sheet and parent guide on Focus on the Family's PluggedIn. Here's the link and some photos:
