School stage time
School Stage Time Slots
Each school will have a 10-minute stage time slot during the fair, while spots are available. Schools with double booths will have first priority when selecting their preferred stage time. Once all double booth schools have made their selections, single booth schools will then be able to choose from the remaining available time slots. Selection will be conducted in the order in which schools registered for the fair.
Schools are welcome to use their 10 minutes of stage time in any way that best represents their school. Presentations may include remarks from school administrators, slide presentations, videos, performances, or other creative activities. Schools may also choose to feature student performances as part of their stage time.
A list of available stage time options is provided below.
Please note that the 10-minute time limit includes any setup time required for instruments, equipment, or other materials. A countdown timer will be displayed on the side of the stage, and the timer will begin immediately after the previous school's stage session has concluded.

LITTLE STARS - BIG DREAMS
LITTLE STARS - BIG DREAMS
The fair will officially begin with the Little Stars - Big Dreams song. Students from participating schools will practice the song Million Dreams with their parents and music teachers. Students will then arrive at the fair at 8am to practice as a group before performing on stage at 9am.
For the upcoming fair, we’re excited to introduce a special video segment titled “Little Stars – Big Dreams.” This session will spotlight younger students, from Kindergarten to Lower Primary, in a light-hearted and inspiring interview format. Students will be asked a few simple questions such as their name, school, grade level, favorite things about their school, and what they want to be when they grow up.
To celebrate their participation, the students will also perform a group song on stage. Full details about the song and session arrangements will be shared in the coming weeks. The song and video will be conducted in the morning (around 9am).
Portrait pictures will also be taken and posted for each participating student with our special Little Star Boards. See photos below as example.
A shared registration spreadsheet will be sent out after school registration for those wishing to take part in the “Little Stars – Big Dreams” session.

Magic Bucket
Magic Bucket Prizes
Magic Bucket Prizes
Each participating school may contribute up to 10 ping pong balls, with your school’s name written on them.
Here’s how it will work:
- A decorative bucket will be placed at the registration area.
- As families register and prepare to enter the fair, children will be invited to pick a ball from the bucket.
- The school named on the ball will be sponsoring a small prize.
- Upon entering the fair, the family will visit that school’s booth to redeem the prize.
We recommend simple, kid-friendly items such as balloons, small stuffed toys, or other fun and cute items that also represent your school. When the child exchanges the ball with your staff, it’s a great opportunity to introduce your school and programs to the family. The goal is to encourage conversations with families who may not have initially planned to visit your booth.
Participation is completely optional. If your school would like to join, please prepare:
- Up to 10 ping pong balls with your school’s name written on them
- Up to 10 small prizes to give away
We will collect the ping pong balls on the morning of the fair, before the event begins.
