Junior high pep rallies are held to create a sense of school spirit, and to get students excited for upcoming school sporting events. In order to hold the attention of junior high students, pep rallies must have entertaining activities that hold their attention. There are endless ideas for engaging and interactive pep rallies that will allow both students and teachers to have a great time.
Guess the Pom Poms
Have a large glass container sitting by the entrance to the assembly. Fill the container with pom poms and have students guess how many pom poms are inside. Announce the winner at the end of the assembly and give the winner a school T-shirt.
Teach a Cheer
Teach the students a cheer at the assembly. This is an interactive activity that will force the students to be engaged. It will also allow them to know a cheer when they attend sporting events.
Tug of War
Have a tug of war competition between teachers or groups of students from different grades. Students watching from the sidelines can cheer for their friends and favorite teachers.
Pie-Eating Contest
Have a pie eating contest using football and basketball team coaches, assistant coaches or teachers. You can blindfold them to add to the intensity.
Musical Chairs
