Yearbook Page Idea: Dress Up for Twin Day and Spirit Week

Looking for a creative yearbook page idea? Some of my favorite pages come from spirit week. You know, those days when everyone dresses up in a certain theme to show their school spirit.

This particular page comes from spirit week in 2010. One of the days was “Twin Day.” Everyone picked a twin, and they dressed up in identical outfits for school that day.

We set up a studio in the media center and took some posed portraits of any seniors who dressed up and wanted to participate. This worked great as a fundraiser for us, as well, because we could sell prints of the photos for $2 to $5.

If you don’t want to set up a studio, though, you could easily accomplish the same thing with candid shots around the school. Send your kids around with a camera, especially to lunch and study hall, and snap a few pictures for the yearbook. If your seniors get done early for the day (like ours), you could also have them stop by a central location after they are done with their classes.

If you can get with the senior class advisor and organize a spirit week, then you’ll have plenty of yearbook page ideas to use. Five days in a week = Five potential pages for your book. Come up with some creative themes for dressing up, and you’ll have some creative yearbook page ideas.
