The end-of-year school fair or festival is THE event children look forward to—and a key moment for parent associations. Inflatables are now the stars of these events: they attract the public, entertain all ages, and generate revenue (tickets, refreshments). But how do you choose them, organize the space, and ensure everything is safe? This guide supports schools and associations, step by step.
For toddlers, the castle and the combo playground (see our combo guide). For elementary schoolers, obstacle courses and football games. As ticket stands, skill-based games are a hit: snookball, foot darts, basketball hoop, and golf. For older kids, it's all about thrills with the human whack-a-mole.
| Level | Recommended inflatables |
|---|---|
| Preschool | Castle, small slide, soft combo |
| Elementary (K-2nd grade) | Combo, simple obstacle course, skill games |
| Elementary (3rd-5th grade) | Obstacle courses, football, sports, soft thrill games |
| All ages / families | Ticketed skill-based stands |
Provide a dedicated zone for each inflatable, with a queue and one volunteer per structure. A ticket system regulates access and funds the school. Space out skill-based stands (inflatable stands) to improve flow, and set up larger games away from smaller ones.
For an annual school fair, renting might suffice. But many associations and municipalities choose to buy one or two versatile inflatables (castle, combo): reused every year and shared between schools, they quickly pay for themselves and generate revenue at each event.

Combo PlaygroundsObstacle CoursesIt depends on the number of students and the space available. A castle or a combo for the little ones, an obstacle course for the older ones, and two to three skill-based stands already make a good range. The ideal is to divide activities by age group and ensure enough volunteers to supervise them simultaneously.
Check with the school administration and the town hall: the use of inflatable structures for the public falls under the EN 14960 standard and safety rules (anchoring, supervision, insurance). The organizing association must generally verify insurance coverage and adherence to manufacturer instructions.
Implement a ticket system and one volunteer per game to regulate access, count children, and ensure capacity and play duration are respected. Materialized waiting areas and time slots per class greatly improve flow on the day.
Ticketed skill-based stands (snookball, foot darts, basketball hoop, golf) generate repeated play and good revenue, while large structures (castle, combo, obstacle course) attract the public and keep them engaged. Combining both maximizes both entertainment and profits for the school.
Yes, in a gymnasium or community hall that offers sufficient floor space and ceiling height, with appropriate ballast anchoring. This is an excellent backup solution in case of rain. Plan for electricity supply for the blowers and a safety zone around each structure.
For a one-off school fair, renting is suitable. For an association that organizes events every year, buying one or two versatile inflatables quickly pays for itself, especially if they are loaned or shared between schools and reused at other parties.
