Josh GriffinMore PostsCar Smash at Our Junior High Event
This past weekend our junior high ministry put on an incredible event called The 3. It is on the 3rd Friday of the month, lasts 3 hours and costs $3. They have had incredible themes and games each time, but this idea was next level: a car smash! So fun … made quite the mess but was super memorable and no doubt the thing talked about when kids got back to school Monday. Brilliant!

It looks as though there is a price on the sign there…did you use this as a fundraising event? That sounds like a fun idea…maybe for an upcoming trip!
I’d really be interested in how this was set up cost wise/safety/parents not freaking out….Sounds like an awesome time…
A few details:
We paid $300 for the car. Kids paid $1 for five swings with a sledge hammer. Over the course of the nite, 200 kids paid to play. The next day, we sold it for scrap for $75. So the whole thing cost us $25!
We made kids wear googles, gloves and boots ( we had a big pair of boots they slipped into). The only comments we heard from parents was from dads who thought it was awesome!
