Question by Tori.Elizabeth: What are some ideas a big group of preteens can do to make money?
Please list a list of ideas, not just one. We would need to make at least 0 from each idea for the money making ideas. We give 50% to charity and a fraction of what’s left is kept for a fair we’ll be hosting.

You can also have sign ups for a weekend big bro/sis program for families that has a lonely child with no friends or siblings. You could have the parent pack a lunch and take them to the park, ride bikes, roller skate or a even a movie. Most of these things will cost you nothing. If your get enough people to sign up and each person from your group does this for a small fee it would benefit not only you but the lonely child that needs company and the parents.

Ahead of time, ask around your neighborhood on who has dogs and if their owners would like them to have a day out. On that pre-designated day and set time, the preteens (along with an adult to drive and supervise) pick up their dogs and take them to your local dog run (check with your local parks to see which ones have them and what their rules are).
Car washes – on a main street or go door to door offering the service
Bake sales (check with local authorities about permits)
If one or more of you has a floral garden and your parents don’t mind you pulling their flowers up, you may consider making small floral bouquets and selling them. Check your local grocery store for competitive pricing.
Have a garage sale – old clothes, coins, gently used toys and books and so on are items you can sell that are just sitting around taking space. Check your garages, basements, attics, closets, trunks, for things you long forgot about. Don’t take anything without your parents permission; even if it’s something of yours as a toddler that you don’t want, your parent may have a sentimental attachment or may have already promised it to someone else or perhaps a charity.
Rake lawns, shovel driveways – go door to door offering the service
Recycle – gather all your deposit bottles/cans and return for cash (some areas even take old newspapers)
Stand outside your local party store (ask the store manager’s permission first) and offer your balloon-inflating services for customers who do not want helium balloons (in other words, offer to blow up – by mouth – and tie a knot on each and every balloon for their party). Time-consuming, tedious jobs others do not want to do are amongst the best ways to make money.
Before doing any of these, always check with your parents, the local authorities and check to see what the going rate is to be competitive with your pricing (it’s a good idea to go a little cheaper than others to get a sale). Consider transportation (bus, gas for your car, etc.), supplies (new, not those you already have) and other expenses to come up with a realistic price. Remember, if you charge for things you already have, that hikes up the price and makes you less likely to make sales.
