Yet Two More Open House Ideas
Open House Giving Tree- Create a giving tree for open house out of large butcher paper or, if you're really handy, out of wood.  Attach hooks (I poked pipe cleaner through my butcher paper and bent it), and then hang these apples from the hooks.  Write or paste pictures on the apples, showing the supplies that you would like for the year.  Encourage parents to taken an apple or two on their way out.
Open House Ideas- From Instructor
Open House Journaling- Ask students to write in their journals about the topic 'The Most Difficult Thing About Being a Kid'.  Have their journals open to this page on Open House night, and ask parents to respond by writing in the journal about 'The Most Difficult Thing About Being a Parent'.
