Around the turn of the 20th Century, the idea of homecoming evolved on college campuses as a time for alumni to return to school to celebrate with current students, usually around a sporting event. The events surrounding this annual tradition may have started with returning to a football game to show school spirit, but have now blossomed into events such as homecoming dances, Pep Rallies, parades, Alumni Reunions and school spirit days.
Given the excitement and planning that goes into hosting a homecoming event, Seacoast Events has a few ideas of how you can take your homecoming weekend to the next level that will entertain alumni, students, and families as they return to their alma mater.
Since most homecoming weekends revolve around a game, whether it is football or some other fall/winter sport, it makes sense to incorporate a sports theme into your activities. Seacoast offers a variety of Giant Games that will keep your guests entertained and happy during their return to campus.
Some of the Giant Games available that will have your guests enjoying their reunion time together include Giant Cornhole, Giant Connect Four, Giant Chess, Giant Jenga, Giant Lite Bright, Giant Twister, Giant Malpractice (think Operation) and Giant Pop-a-Shot. These games are fun and easy to play making it a perfect choice for all ages to get involved.
