5. Rhyme Without a Reason

The more random, the better. Some fun examples include:

7. Mismatched Day
Mismatched day is such an easy spirit week idea and honestly one of the most fun. Encourage everyone to go all out with wacky and mismatched outfits.
Such as different colored socks, clashing patterns, or even two totally different tops. There are basically no rules for this day, and that’s what makes it so fun. The more chaotic the outfit, the better.
8. Senior Citizen Day
Grab those canes and gray wigs and get ready for senior citizen day. This is one of those spirit week ideas that comes back year after year, especially online, and it never fails to be funny.
Everyone leans into the stereotypical senior look with nightgowns, slippers, rollers in their hair, oversized glasses, and gray wigs.
9. Tacky Tourist Day
With spring leading right into summer, which is peak travel season; tacky tourist day is a perfect spring spirit week idea.
This is your chance to lean into all the over-the-top tourist stereotypes. Think Hawaiian shirts, fanny packs, binoculars, baseball hats, maps, and even walking around with a suitcase. The more extra and obvious the tourist looks, the better.
10. Jersey Day
Whether it’s basketball, football, baseball, or soccer, invite everyone to wear a jersey for jersey day.

Pajama day is always a fan favorite. It’s the perfect excuse to stay cozy all day and wear your favorite PJs. This is one of those spring spirit week days that requires zero effort but still feels fun.
12. Country vs Country Club Day
For country vs. country club day, you can either go full country with cowboy hats, boots, flannels, and denim. Or dress more country club with golf outfits, polos, skirts, and preppy vibes.
13. Meme Day
Encourage others to dress up as a funny meme, viral moment, or internet joke.
14. Anything But a Backpack
Anything but a backpack day is especially popular for school and always gets creative.
Instead of bringing a backpack, see how creative everyone can get in bringing their things in anything but a backpack. Some really good ideas that I’ve seen are students putting their things in coolers, laundry baskets, suitcases, and strollers.
