After Prom - Much Closer than it Seems!

With schools beginning to close down for the winter break, everyone is taking a few days to relax after a year of hard work.  As we look forward past the New Year though, the second half of the school year is waiting.  Nobody wants to have extra stress over the Holiday season, or during the hectic months of the school year!  Let's take a quick moment to go over some of the big events for the second semester.  We have a few back to school events to welcome kids back and get them excited for school again.  Then there are some fun party events for charity, such as a "mission day".  As the semester end draws nearer though, that is when the most important events occur.  After Proms and end of the year Field Days.  After Proms are the most difficult to plan though, mainly because they are indoors and require a lot of people to help!  Along with making sure there is a proper amount of food and staffing to provide fun and safe entertainment, the parents in charge also have to find the entertainment itself!  Make sure to look for three key things:  Something exciting, something memorable that they can keep, and something that brings kids together.  A&S Play Zone would like to offer a few examples as to what has made some of our after proms successful in the past.  We always like to make our events memorable, and something that always works well is either a picture booth or a key chain.  A&S offers two styles of picture booths, a video machine and a standard photo booth that gives you a series of pictures.  This helps bring people together and also gives them a wonderful keepsake.  Next, for the exciting part, we have always had great fun with a large inflatable like an obstacle course, and perhaps another inflatable like the bungee run to get the kids involved with each other and their dates in a fun way.

To see some examples of After Proms we have taken care of in the past, here is a link to our after prom rental pictures.  If you have any questions for events like this or anything else for the second semester, give us a call at 937-885-5454 or 513-315-9110 or send us an online quote request.

Be safe on the roads and enjoy the Holidays!

Bungee Runs - An After Prom Favorite

The school year is creeping back on students, with the back to school sales an indicator that another year of school is inevitably upon them.  Although many students don't love the idea of returning to school, it brings back so many opportunities for fun, friendship, and sports!  The parents will begin to gather together to start planning the multiple events throughout the year, from seasonal activities, to pep rallies, to after proms.  A&S Play Zone can help with all of these events, but the After Proms are what people focus the most on.  One of the most popular items at these after proms is the Bungee Run, which A&S has three different versions of.

First, the standard two lane bungee run.  Participants put on a vest with a bungee cable in the back.  They will hold a Velcro baton in one hand, and sprint down the lane against their opponent.  The goal is to be the person who can place the Velcro baton furthest down the center lane.  

Second comes the three lane bungee run, which is very similar to the two lane, but as the name suggests, has a third lane.  This way, a group of three friends could challenge each other to a bungee run race.  Think of have the three football players, or three cheerleaders race against each other!

Lastly, the First and Goal Bungee Run.  This has a similar concept to the other two bungees, but instead of running parallel and next to another person, participants run in opposite directions, attached to the same bungee cable.  So this bungee is more of a direct contest, with contestants pulling each other while trying to place a ball into a hoop farther away from the center post.  

So when you are looking into items for your school's after prom, make sure to look into A&S Play Zone's inventory of Bungee Runs!
