< Back to FGE Home Future Georgia Educators Battle of the Bells Battle of the Bells is a great fundraiser to hold during the holiday season. It is a “favorite teacher” contest, whereby students vote for their favorite teachers by purchasing jingle bell necklaces from the FGE chapter for their favorite teachers. During the contest period, teachers should wear their jingle bell necklaces each day. The teacher with the most jingle bells at the end of the contest period wins a prize. Step-by-step guide: Obtain approval from your principal to hold the fundraiser. Set the dates for the contest (1 to 2 week duration). Decide on the prize for “Favorite Teacher,” such as a gift certificate to a local mall (perfect for holiday season). Purchase large jingle bells and yarn from a craft store such as Hobby Lobby or online craft supplier such as Oriental Trading. Use these to make jingle bell necklaces. Or, if you prefer, purchase ready-made jingle bell necklaces from an online store such as Amazon. Advertise the contest to the student body. As necklaces are purchased, make a note of which teacher the necklace was purchased for. These are “votes.” FGE chapter may want to monitor the votes and update the student body daily as to who is “winning” to encourage greater participation. Your chapter may also want to monitor votes to see that each teacher receives at least a few votes. At the end of the contest period, count the votes and award the winning teacher his or her prize. Not only is this an effective fundraiser, but it also promotes the field of teaching and expresses appreciation to the teachers at your school! RETURN TO FUTURE GEORGIA EDUCATORS HOME Back to Top

Click here for more information about FGE State Competition. FAQ Q: Who is eligible to compete in FGE Competitions? A: Members in good standing of state-affiliated FGE chapters are eligible to compete in FGE competitions. Exception: Knowledge Bowl is open to all high schools. Q: Which FGE Day should I/we attend? A: You are free to attend any and all FGE Days. Your school’s location does not dictate which event(s) you attend. Q: How many entries can we submit per competition? A: A chapter may submit only one entry per competition. For individual competitions, chapters may wish to hold a local competition to determine who will enter the FGE Day competition. Q: Can an FGE chapter enter competitions at multiple FGE Days? A: Yes, a chapter may enter competitions at as many FGE Days as they attend (except the Knowledge Bowl; see note below) . However, they are limited to one entry per competition at each location. Please note: the only exception to this is that a chapter may enter the FGE Knowledge Bowl only at the first FGE Day they attend in an academic year. Because some questions may be repeated at multiple events, chapters who have already attended an FGE Day may have heard the questions and are therefore not eligible to compete. Q: When is the competition entry deadline? A: The deadline to enter competitions is midnight on the registration deadline of the FGE Day you plan to attend. Q: Will there be a state level competition? A: Yes. First-, second-, and third-place competition winners of each Knowledge Bowl competition will be eligible to compete at state. In addition, one FGE Moment from each FGE Day will be selected to be read at state competition. There will also be additional competitions at state that students may choose to compete in.
