2027 School Field Day Planning Guide
A good field day keeps every class moving, has a plan for weather and fits the school schedule. This guide walks PTA volunteers and school staff through the timeline, rotations, campus checklist and booking steps for a 2027 field day, with the same approach we use at the schools we serve.

Rotations
Build Stations Around Your Schedule
Most field days run grade by grade, with classes rotating through stations on a timer. Mix a few big attractions with smaller games so lines stay short. Obstacle courses handle head-to-head racing, dry slides work on campuses without water access, and interactive games fill in smaller stations. Warm-weather dates can add water slides if the campus allows it.
Checklist
Campus Checklist for Principals and PTA Leads
Setup areas
Flat grass or turf for each station, away from sprinkler heads, with room for lines.
Access
Measure the narrowest gate or path from the parking area to each spot.
Power
Note outlet locations. Each blower needs power within about 50 feet, or add a generator.
People
Plan volunteer or staff coverage at each station; we’ll tell you what each attraction needs.
Real school events
Field Days We’ve Supported
Johnson Elementary’s three-year Fall Festival relationship grew into a week-long Field Day. Acworth Elementary spaced multiple attractions across its field for student rotations two years in a row. Shelton Elementary used indoor games and outdoor obstacle courses for a weather-flexible Spring Fling. See more on our school field day rentals page and event portfolio.
Common questions
2027 Field Day FAQs
When should our school book field day inflatables for 2027?
As early as you can. Weekday school field days booked by March 15, 2027 get a 3-day rental for the 6-hour price, and April and May dates fill first.
How does the 2027 early-bird offer work?
Book a weekday school field day by March 15, 2027 and keep your rentals for 3 days at the 6-hour price. It’s for weekday school field days only, one deal per order, and the regular deposit and rain policies still apply.
How many attractions does a field day need?
It depends on how many students rotate at once and how long each rotation is. Share your grade levels, class count and schedule, and we’ll suggest a starting mix.
What if it rains on field day?
Request a reschedule by 9 AM the day before delivery and we’ll move your date. Indoor-friendly games can also work in a gym, depending on the space.
What do we need on campus?
A flat setup area, a clear path for the equipment, and power near each blower or a generator. We’ll confirm exact needs once you choose the attractions.
