School treats, reward days and magical end-of-term fun

School magic shows full of laughter, clever tricks and controlled chaos

Planning a reward day, assembly treat or end-of-term celebration? Stripey Wipey school magic shows bring bright comedy magic, huge reactions and cheerful organised mayhem into a format that works around the school timetable.

The show is shaped for primary and infant school audiences, with clever visual magic, noisy joining-in, colourful props and clear crowd control. Younger pupils can follow the silliness while older pupils enjoy trying to work out how the magic happened.

Choose a quick-moving 45-minute school show or a fuller 1-hour celebration.

A school hall full of laughter — without losing the plot

After a busy stretch of lessons, assemblies, reading, counting and tiny triumphs, children deserve a reward that feels properly special.

A Stripey Wipey school magic show lets the room get noisy in all the right places. Pupils laugh together, call out the magic words, spot the deliberate mistakes and become part of the action, while the running order remains clear and manageable for staff.

The result is cheerful, raucous school-hall fun with an experienced hand on the steering wheel: big reactions, clever magic and controlled chaos rather than uncontrolled noise.

Why schools choose Stripey Wipey

A successful school show needs enough energy to fill the hall and enough structure to keep the fun moving. These are the practical reasons schools choose Stripey Wipey.

Proper magic for every age

The show is adapted to suit the pupils in the room. Younger children enjoy the colour and comedy, while older pupils get clever misdirection and genuinely baffling magic.

Peanut the Elephant and Domino the Rabbit may look playful, but their tricks are strong enough to leave pupils—and teachers—asking, “HOW?!” for weeks afterwards.

Timetable-friendly options

Schools can choose a shorter 45-minute option or a fuller 1-hour option. As a result, the show can be matched to the school day rather than squeezed in awkwardly.

Whole-hall joining in

Children can shout the magic words, answer back, spot the funny mistakes and join in from their seats. The fun feels enormous without needing every pupil on stage.

Clever enough for mixed ages

Bright visual silliness keeps younger pupils with the story, while clever misdirection and comedy give older primary pupils plenty to puzzle over. Mixed ages, group size and sightlines can be discussed when checking availability.

Controlled from start to finish

The children are encouraged to react loudly at the right moments, but the show keeps a clear rhythm and settled audience positions. Setup, access, space, power and arrival arrangements can be confirmed in advance.

School magic shows for rewards, assemblies and special days

A school celebration becomes memorable when pupils laugh together, help the magic along and head home still arguing cheerfully about how the trick worked.

Stripey Wipey school magic shows can suit reward afternoons, assembly treats, class or year-group celebrations, school party days, fun days and pre-holiday events. The format can be matched to the available timetable rather than forcing the school day around the show.

Christmas-specific events are covered separately on the Christmas Magic Shows and Santa Visits page.

Easy school fit

Great for reward afternoons, celebration days, class treats, year group treats and pre-holiday fun.

Reward afternoons

A cheerful way to finish a busy block of learning with shared laughter and magic.

Class celebrations

Useful when a class or year group needs something bright, simple and memorable.

School party days

A lively school-show option for party-style sessions, pre-holiday treats and special reward days.

Leavers, moving-up days and milestone celebrations

A cheerful Stripey Wipey option for Reception celebrations, moving-up days, year-group milestones and school leavers events. The format can bring comedy magic, shared laughter and a bright finish without turning the occasion into a generic birthday party.

Lovely for milestone moments

A timetable-friendly 45-minute school show

The 45-minute end of term magic show is the fast, bright option for schools that need a clear, contained celebration slot.

It keeps the energy high, the timings clear and the magic flowing. Therefore, it is ideal when a school wants a colourful treat that fits neatly into the day, such as a reward slot, assembly-style treat or end-of-day celebration window.

Important timing note: because this format is designed to keep the show moving within a shorter school timetable, the 45-minute option does not include children stroking Domino the Rabbit.

That is not a downgrade. It is the proper school-timetable version: quick-moving, packed with laughs, colourful and neatly contained.

Clear, bright and practical

This option is ideal for schools that need the magic to fit neatly into a busy day without losing the sparkle.

Best for busy timetables

Reward slots, assembly-style treats, tight timetables and end-of-day celebration windows are all good fits.

A fuller 1-hour school show with more interaction

The 1-hour school magic show gives the celebration more breathing room.

There is more time for audience moments, child participation, comedy magic and a fuller school-show rhythm. In addition, where suitable, the 1-hour option can include the stroke the bunny moment with Domino the Rabbit.

This depends on the school setting, timing, room layout, age group, event flow and practical arrangements. Therefore, it should be discussed when checking availability rather than treated as an automatic promise.

More room for magical moments

The fuller option gives the room more time to settle, laugh, join in and enjoy the school-show rhythm.

Where suitable, Domino can appear

The bunny moment may be possible in this longer format, but only where the school setting and event flow make it suitable.

Domino the Rabbit, Peanut the Elephant and clear school timings

Domino the Rabbit and Peanut the Elephant are part of the Stripey Wipey world, but their role depends on the selected school format and what is suitable for the event.

For the end of term magic show, the key timing rule is simple: the 45-minute version does not include children stroking Domino the Rabbit because the shorter format needs to keep moving.

45 minutes

No bunny-stroking moment due to time. This keeps the shorter school-show format clear, honest and easy to timetable.

Reward days, assemblies, workshops and school celebrations

Stripey Wipey school magic shows can sit neatly inside many different school events.

The 45-minute option works well when the timetable is packed and the school needs a bright assembly-style treat. The 1-hour option gives a reward afternoon or celebration day more room for audience interaction, comedy and character moments.

Balloon exhibitions and workshop-style activities may also be discussed where they suit the age group, timing, room and agreed event format.
