Pie In The Face:

Get someone of importance, like the school headmaster, to volunteer for pie treatment and then set a target of funds needed for that person to receive the pie.

You'll then get people to donate funds to see him receive the pie in the face. This is really fun and funny for kids and can be a great laugh for the parents as well!

Also consider having a "Pie-Off" , where you’ll have a few volunteers and people can sponsor donations to the person that they want to see get the pie in the face.

Set a specified time for all sponsorships to be in and the person who has received the most funds receives the pie!

Worm Charming (Or Worm Grunting):

This is a unique and funny fundraising idea that is unbelievably popular. It's a real laugh as you watch contestants trying to raise worms to the surface.

It's an event where you will divide a piece of land up into evenly marked squares. Then you'll sell out squares to contestants who'll take part in the charming competition!

You'll either have teams or individuals, who will try charm as many worms to the surface and capture them in a set amount of time.

Worms are highly sensitive to sound vibrations and will rise to the surface when something like a garden fork is jammed into the ground and banged.

The Knockdown Course:

Have you ever watched Wipeout Australia?

It's one of the funniest TV game shows you'll ever see! Why? Because we love seeing people wipe out and have fun!

The great thing is you can do something similar as a fundraising event!

Design an obstacle course where contestants have to use their strength and agility to get through and where they will get knocked down on the odd occasion!

Remember to always take safety into account and make sure you've taken all the right procedures to ensure that!
