School Fun Day Event Setup in Nairobi: Equipment, Games, Entertainment & Full Planning Guide
A school fun day gives children a break from the classroom and creates a memorable day of games, movement, creativity and shared experiences. But a successful event needs more than a few inflatables placed on a field.
Schools need the right number of activity stations, trained attendants, food and treat areas, shade, sound, decorations, a rotation schedule and clear safety rules.
This guide explains how to plan a school fun day event setup in Nairobi, including bouncing castles, trampolines, interactive games, face painting, cotton candy, popcorn, package planning and station numbers for 100, 200 and 300 children.
Events Created With Love handles children’s party planning, play equipment, themed décor, entertainers, face painting, interactive games, tables, chairs and food stations.

Who organises school fun days in Nairobi?
Schools can work with a kids’ party planner or event equipment company that provides inflatables, games, entertainers, food stations, décor, attendants and setup.
Events Created With Love organises children’s events in Nairobi and can coordinate attractions such as bouncing castles, play stations, themed décor, face painting, magic shows and interactive games.
A professional organiser can help the school:

- Coordinate delivery and setup.
- Provide attendants for queues and safety.
- Arrange tents, tables, chairs and food stations.
- Manage entertainment and activity flow.

Schools should provide the event date, venue, number of children, age ranges, programme length and available space before requesting a quote.
Essential school fun day equipment
The equipment mix should match the ages of the children, the size of the school field and the length of the event.
Bouncing castles and inflatable castles
Bouncing castles are among the most popular attractions at school fun days. They allow children to burn energy while creating a visually exciting centrepiece for the event.
- Standard bouncing castles.
- Themed inflatable castles.
- Slide and castle combinations.
- Obstacle-course inflatables.
- Inflatable games for older children.
Bouncing castles should be installed on appropriate ground, securely pegged or weighted and supervised according to age, height and weight restrictions.
Trampolines
Trampoline hire in Nairobi is suitable for school fun days, church events, family gatherings and corporate family days.
Trampolines should have safe spacing, controlled queues and attendants. Children should be grouped according to age and size where required.
Interactive games
- Giant Tic Tac Toe.
- Ring Toss.
- Giant Jenga.
- Cornhole.
- Maze boards.
- Giant bowling.
- Foosball.
- Electric Basketball for older children.

- Bracelet or bead-making activities.
- Photo booth or themed photo area.
Food and treat stations
- Cotton candy machine.
- Popcorn machine.
- Ice cream or dessert station.
- Juice and water station.
- Snack and cake tables.
Support equipment

- Sound system and microphones.
- Waste bins and collection points.
- First-aid access and emergency signage.
- Floor mats where required.
Station planning for 100, 200 and 300 children
The number of children does not automatically determine the number of stations. Age groups, event duration, rotation schedules and equipment capacity also matter.
| Children | Suggested stations | Recommended mix | Planning notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 children | 5–7 stations | 2 inflatables, 1 trampoline, 1–2 games, face painting, treats | Use class or age-group rotations to reduce queues. |
| 200 children | 8–12 stations | 3–4 inflatables, 2 games, 1–2 creative stations, 2 food stations | Separate younger and older children and use attendants. |
| 300 children | 12–16 stations | 4–6 inflatables, multiple games, face painting, treats and quiet zones | Use a detailed timetable, colour-coded groups and multiple supervisors. |
For 100 children
A practical 100-child setup may include:
- Two bouncing castles or one castle and one slide.
- One trampoline.
- One interactive game zone.
- One face-painting station.
- One cotton candy or popcorn station.
- One quiet colouring or craft station.
For 200 children
A 200-child event should add more inflatables and separate activities:
- Three or four inflatable attractions.
- Two trampoline or active-play stations.
- Two interactive game zones.
- One face-painting and one creative station.
- Cotton candy and popcorn stations.
- Separate younger-child play zone.
For 300 children
A 300-child fun day should operate like a structured mini-festival:
- Four to six inflatable attractions.
- Multiple trampolines or active-play stations.
- Three or more interactive game zones.
- Separate face painting, craft and photo areas.
- Multiple food and drink stations.
- Large covered rest and seating area.
- Dedicated supervisors and station attendants.
Entertainment for a school fun day
Face painting
Face painting is a popular low-impact station. Use multiple painters for large groups or offer simple designs that can be completed quickly.
Magic shows and stage activities
Magic shows, storytelling, dance activities and short performances can bring all age groups together for a shared programme.
Music and dancing
A sound system with an announcer or host helps communicate station rotations, class movements and programme changes.
Interactive games
Interactive games provide structured play without requiring every child to use a large inflatable. They also work well for older children who may prefer competition and skill-based activities.
Food and treat stations
Cotton candy and popcorn are easy-to-understand treats for school events. Use attendants and clear queues to avoid congestion.
Safety and supervision planning
Safety is the most important part of a school fun day. Equipment should be installed correctly and supervised throughout the event.
- Separate children by age or size where required.
- Follow the manufacturer’s age and weight limits.
- Use attendants at inflatables and trampolines.
- Keep queues organised and away from active play areas.
- Use suitable ground and secure inflatables correctly.
- Keep food, cables and furniture away from play equipment.
- Provide drinking water and shaded rest areas.
- Maintain access to first-aid support.
- Pause activities during heavy rain, lightning or unsafe wind.
- Brief teachers and volunteers before children arrive.
School fun day package pricing
School fun day pricing depends on the number of children, stations, equipment, entertainers, tents, food stations, transport and staffing. Request a package quotation rather than pricing every item separately.
