Thank you to everyone who gave tips on gaming rules, I didn't even think of that!!!!
If you decide to make it a "Family Night", try a pot luck! Assign each grade level with something (We are K-5, but we always include PRE-K). The main course (4TH&5TH), salads (2ND&3RD), desserts (K&1ST), breads (PRE-K), etc....whatever you decide to have. We always have a good turn out. Parents say it feels like the neighborhood pot luck dinners they used to have.
The others have given you some good advice. It's important to remember that most PTOs are not just some little social club, they are non-profit organizations (i.e. a type of business) and you need to watch the pertinent rules.
Our PTO holds Bingo each year with our Spring Fling. It's very popular. We dutifully get a license and follow all the rules. We choose to use the disposable paper bingo cards that come two per sheet. We have prizes donated and sell the cards for $1 each per game. (You change colors each game.) We just put containers of crayons on each tables to mark the spaces.
