Having a Successful Physical Activity Event
PRIZE DISTRIBUTION

If you are providing prizes and giveaways at your event, we suggest the following to keep them appealing and of special significance to your tween audience.

Items should:

• be used as a draw to the site
• be used as a reward for activity
• NOT be given to adults
• NOT be given out in handfuls
• NOT be given to passersby who do not come into the activity site

Staff should keep count of the number of items that they give away. Tracking the number of prizes distributed at each event can help you track the number of participants for evaluation purpose. (See Appendix C for Prize Ideas).
