The Giant Sleepover is the world’s largest sleepover over 24 hours on the 19th June 2010. Tens of thousands of children are signing up to join a community of ‘kids that care’ and sleepover to help raise money for their favourite children’s charities. Midnight feasts, gossiping, giggling, and late night whisperings are all the order of the day (and night) with events planned to take place across the globe.
An event for children by children, the Giant Sleepover has grown from just one school’s commitment in 2003 to a Guinness World Record of 35,000 participants in 2008. This year it is set to break all records with growing numbers registering groups and the NCPTA approving it as one of their official fundraising events.
You can hold the sleepover in your school hall, your staff room, your local campsite or on the school field! The sleeping will not be restricted to the school either with several sleepovers taking place in unique and unusual venues; kids will be imitating Tarzan in a monkey forest, going back in time in a museum and York Dungeons and finding out if fish sleep having their big snooze in the London Aquarium and Sea Life centres across the country.
