Banners are a great addition to your sports day. Bright, highly portable and durable, well designed banners can be used year after year to promote your school or highlight pupils' achievements.
Sports days banner benefits
Sports days have plenty of benefits. These include getting kids moving, running and jumping and also learning valuable social skills like communication and teamwork.
What better way to boost your pupils' sense of pride in their achievements and their school than by using colourful banners to decorate your sports day. Roller banners are also a great way to signpost parents to the event and provide a clear finish line for every event.
If your school is divided into houses or teams, a lightweight and portable banner can make a clear rallying point for pupils and a way to celebrate their achievements.
Design the best banner for sports day
You can use generic banner designs, but where's the fun in that? There are plenty of resources available on the internet if you want to add images to your banners, otherwise get your pupils to design art around themes like sport, movement, running and jumping. These highly individualised designs will really set your banners apart.
There are a few simple tips and tricks to make sure your banners look great and are inclusive and legible. Keep the message short and simple and use a legible font. Include your school logo and use your school colours so your banner is easy to distinguish, especially if you take it to inter-school competitions. If you are using images or artwork make sure the originals are high definition for the best reproduction.
You'll want to keep your design as timeless as possible if you want to reuse it year after year, so avoid date information if possible. If you're not sure how to get started with banner design, our professional design team will be able to help.
Social distancing for sports day
In these unprecedented times you may need to make sure that parents and pupils observe social distancing throughout sports day. Ready printed banners and signs plus a hand sanitation station are a smart investment to make sure that your event observes the guidelines and everyone stays safe and enjoys the sport.
Things to think about
When you're deciding on what banner you need, think about the following:
- Where will the banner be displayed? Indoors or outdoors?
- What are the best materials for your banner? How durable does it need to be?
- Will your banner be fixed or portable? Do you need roller banners or flags?
- What type of displays do you want to create? Decorative or informational?
- How quickly do you need your banner? Make sure you plan in advance for sports day
