Alternative to school tour?

    As suggested in the title I'm looking for some ideas for an alternative to a school tour. Most of the students attending our school would not be in a position to pay money to go away on a trip for a day. However, a group of us as first year tutors are going to try and provide an alternative which will be free or only €1 or €2 per student.

    We've thought about having a games evening and award ceremony with music and fun. Does anybody have any other suggestions of what we could do that would be fun yet keep the cost down?

    Is it whole school or just a particular year group?
    What amenities have you nearby? Can you go to the beach? A local park? Have a picnic... Kids even the older teens enjoy the simple things if the weather is right - which I know is a joke to be typing, given the ghoulish night that is in it.
    A sports day with teachers competing against students always goes down well
    Or a well run table quiz - ban the phones though :-)
    Cinema trip? Even a DVD in the library ...

    We're in the Midlands with not much around us. The group we're trying to organise an event for are first years. We're trying to plan for something indoors as the weather is so unpredictable!

    Movie day/evening, buy some popcorn and a few 3 packs of drinks, you're sorted

    Just let them pick the dvd's give a choice of about 20 and majority wins and gets played

    You could do a Kristkindl type thing, where you supply them with cards, (blank ones would do) and a name of a recipient and they have to decorate the card and write something kind or nice about the person it is addressed to.
    Everyone hopefully goes home feeling good about themselves.
