Clean & Fun Indoor Activities for Senior High Students
The senior year of high school is full of events that commemorate the students' last year of study. Within a group of senior high students, there is a range of personality types that can be accommodated by providing a variety of activity options. Educators, school administrators and parents can monitor the activities to make sure they remain appropriate for the senior high age group. Does this Spark an idea?

Table Games
-
Provide cards, board games, billiards, chess, air-hockey and foosball for senior high students to enjoy. Some table games require more equipment than others. For example, you need a pool table, cues and pool balls to play pool, whereas playing poker only requires a deck of cards. Table games work well as an activity option at large-group events since they provide an alternative option for those who don't want to dance or engage in unstructured group discussions.
Dancing
-
Hire a DJ or a band that suits the students' range of musical tastes. Students can express themselves and their own unique style through their dance moves. Dancing is also a group event where students can participate in a musical and cultural movement that will form their personal history. As they grow up, students can look back on their high school experience and remember a song that defined the era or the song that was playing during their first dance with a high school sweetheart.
-
Inflatable Games
-
Rent inflatable games such as inflatable sumo wrestling, inflatable boxing and inflatable basketball for senior high school events. When compared to a senior high school student's normal activities, these games appear large and over-the-top. Inflatable games add excitement to an event and are likely to have students lining up to take part. Companies usually include a staff member with each game who can monitor the participants and ensure safety measures are working properly.
Live Performances
-
Hire comedians, magicians or hypnotists to entertain the students. Many professional entertainers have experience performing for the senior high school age group at school assemblies, birthday parties and youth group events. Therefore these professionals can cater their routine to suit the students' interests and make sure their material is appropriate for the 17- to 18-year-old age range. Live performances work well to break an event up so that students do not get bored of other activities.
