Talent Shows: Ideas for Fun and Fundraising

My kids look forward to the end-of-year Talent Show all year long.  At recess, they practice skits, dances, songs and other talents.  They chatter about what surprises their friends are likely to reveal, who will perform together, and who will be outrageously funny. 

With district budget cuts and PTA coffers light, many schools are turning to the annual Talent Show / Variety Show as a fundraising opportunity. Many churches, congregations, summer camps and community groups have rich Talent Show traditions involving both kids and adults.
