Hi Russell. Here are some sites I use, shindigz.com, noveltysales.com, oriental trading.com. One thing I did for a game was I went to the dollar store bought candy, asst. toys, and just little things (bag of popcorn etc) I put them into a clear container and kids had to guess how many items were inside, who ever guessed the closest amount got everything that was inside. You could even buy a movie rental gc and toss that in. The kids had a blast playing twister, and bingo. Hope this helps

forget individual retailers.. have you tried the publishers of various dictionaries? Or,

How about writing a grant to a foundation to get the funds and then have your school library purchase them at cost?

Here's a link to the Merriam-Webster " contact us" page from their website..!

How about asking Borders, Kmart, Target, local businesses, your local grocery store and even large corporations in your area? Maybe you can place a free ad in your local newspaper asking for help. Scholastic or even Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) might be able to help or guide you in the right direction.

You could even go to the extreme of making flyers and stapling them to telephone poles in the areas around the school.

Good luck to you!
