Decorating: Foyer (Registration & Photo Booth) – Maker Fun Factory

Our foyer is just inside the main entrance, so we have registration there every year.  We also had a photo booth, tshirt factory and sound station in the foyer decorations this year!

For about a month before VBS set-up, we have one wall in the foyer that’s dedicated to VBS.  This year we actually used the normal advertising wall plus a second wall for the robot building competition.

Our pre-VBS foyer decorations for Maker Fun Factory included:

-Cutout gears {made with scrapbooking paper and a die}

–Posters

-Volunteer sign up forms

–Student registration forms

-Robot competition

-Building toys

–VBS advertising postcards

I’ve linked to tutorials above for the foyer decorations projects that have them.  

 

About a week before VBS, we took down the pre-VBS decorations and started putting up the real deal!  We started by hanging tarps on all 4 main walls in the foyer.  There were then 5 areas in the foyer: the registration table {in the center of the room}, plus the 4 walls {sound station, name tags/lanyards, tshirt factory and photo booth}.

Our foyer decorations for Maker Fun Factory included:

FOYER

–Masking tape arrows and paths on the floor {like a factory}

-Robots from robot building competition

–Blue tarps {one with masking tape grid lines}

-Posters {the bulletin board set we used is out of stock, but they do have this similar option!}

REGISTRATION

–Student registration forms

-Record keeping binder {where our secretary totals the daily attendance, offering, etc.; also where registration forms are stored}
