Virtual Event Ideas
Thank you to New York State PTA for some Virtual Event Ideas!

  • Stories and Stuffed Animals – Have children make their own stuffed animal and stay on the line to hear a story. Stuffed animal kits can be found online.
  • Dance-a-Thon – Have community members get out those dancing shoes and have a virtual dance party!
  • Drive Thru Trick or Treating – Have the cars come to you (the PTA) so the children never have to leave the safety of their vehicles!
  • Pumpkin Carving Contest – Showcase the children’s artistic abilities virtually!
  • Bedtime Stories – Have faculty or community members share their favorite books!
  • Bingo – Deliver cards to participating families, and host the event online!
  • Ice Cream Social – Instead of scooping Ice Cream, hire an ice cream truck!
  • Drive In Movie Night – Either at school or a drive-in!
  • Paint Night – Check your local painting and pottery studios, as many are offering kits for home delivery. Schedule a night, set up a call, and paint away!
  • School Photographs – You may not be able to attend, but you can help organize!
  • Face Mask Fundraisers – Promote your school spirit and help your PTA at the same time. Masks can be sold online and mailed to recipients.
  • Chalk the Walk – Have families go outside and draw on their sidewalks and driveways. Take pictures and feature them on social media, on the school’s website, or during virtual meetings!
  • Restaurant Take Out Night – Restaurants are open, and need your support! Arrange for a take-out night with a portion of the sales going to your PTA!
National PTA Membership Campaign
Today, PTA’s role is more important than ever in connecting parents, teachers and administrators, and supporting critical school needs. We want every family in our schools to join PTA, because we can do more together than apart.

Our new membership campaign—PTA For Your Child—is designed to engage and excite new members and existing members by making the work of the PTA more visible and highlighting the value and impact of PTA.

To bolster your membership recruitment activities, we have developed a suite of materials, including a campaign toolkit that outlines how to effectively communicate the value of PTA membership, a suite of dynamic visuals and collateral materials, and a campaign rollout checklist.

Membership Campaign Materials & Resources
To bring the campaign to life, we have developed a suite of materials and resources, including a comprehensive campaign toolkit, visual assets, collateral materials, a campaign implementation checklist and video. We hope you find these resources engaging, impactful and fun!
