WOW Day workshop ideas for schools

Get inspired and get creative

Planning a WOW Day or a week of WOW activities for your class? Whether you are planning a single theme for the whole school, or a range of topics across a year group, we have plenty of inspiring workshops to deliver that wow, and kick start your experience.

Maybe you want to get your children excited to learn more about an aspect of Science or Technology. Or perhaps your goal is to get their creativity flowing with an art workshop, or an African drumming session. Workshops can be tailored to your goals and delivered in a classroom setting, or as a whole school assembly.

WOW days are often about new experiences as a way to spark enthusiasm, so incorporating a workshop is a great way to provide children with an opportunity to learn something out of the ordinary; an experience you can build upon with whole class projects leading to your desired outcome.

If you plan to teach about The Romans, Greeks or Egyptians next term, we have a WOW day for that. If you want a mad scientist to blow their socks off with chemistry and physics, we have a WOW day for that. Or if you just have a germ of an idea for something that would be amazing for your new topic, we probably have a WOW day for that too. Use the short form to let us know what you want to achieve, or take a look a the various sections below for plenty more WOW day ideas and inspiration.
