Create a team calendar to support your local club. A mix of action shots through the season and traditional team shots work well. For schools, why not dress up and make props for a different sport for each month.
This is a great one for villages - find a local location like the village green or local shop and take a picture of it today and also show an inset picture of it in yesteryear.
A delicious idea which gives your calendar added value. Take some pictures of each recipe to add interest. This could be run as a competition in your school or local community with the winning recipes featuring in the calendar.
A fun way to get children to learn about different periods of history. Ask different classes to research, dress up and make props for a particular decade or historical period e.g. 20s, 60s, Ancient Egyptians, Romans, Victorians, Vikings.
World book day has become an established annual fun day for schools where children get to dress up as their favourite character. It is a great day to take photos of the classes for use in a calendar.
Rather than traditional class photos organise all the children in the school by birthday month. You can also add each child’s name to the calendar on their actual birthday.
Based on the popular tea towel fundraiser get each child to draw a self portrait. You can either scan these individually or why not get the class to create a background scene such as a day at the seaside, add the cut out self portraits and then take a picture of the whole piece of artwork.
Children just love to get dressed up. Assign a calendar month to each class in the school and get them to dress up or make props to illustrate the season/month. It makes for a great project and even better photographs! As well as the four seasons, think of all the other traditional holidays e.g. Easter, Valentines, Halloween, Christmas, Patron Saint Days
