Well, I hate to admit it, but that one just came out of my warped little mind...
That is a martial art I have been trying to master for many, many years.....and still am. I feel I always will be.
Geeeez....doesn't *that* sound familiar??

Special trial classes for kids is a great idea and you are targeting a rich market. I often did " bring a friend nite " with the kids and it often generated a couple new students each time. I used lots of high energy games and drills those classes and had time set aside for after the class to answer questions for any of the parents that watched the class.
bring a friend nite....that's a good one... mind if I pass that one along to my instructor?
I will try the Bring a Friend Free night also. Sounds like a good idea. Do you have the parents come also, to sign a waiver, or send that along with your kids?
I personally like the use of the "Force" and plan to try that also. We can all dream....

At our school, the first week after any belt test is "Buddy week". You can bring a friend in for classes during the week, free. It is strongly recommended that the friend's parents be present, and that they give their permission. The buddy is free to join you (no matter what your rank is) in the white belt class, to get a taste of what things would be like if he/she joined up. Generally, we don't worry about waivers for this week, as there is no contact and very little actual "strenuous" workout to get someone hurt.
We also have "Mother's Month" and "Father's Month", corresponding to April and June, respectively. Kids can bring their mom and dad in for classes during those months free of charge, with the same restrictions--only in the white belt class, but you can join in with them and train side by side.
That is a lot of fun, and people really enjoy the freebies.
We also offer birthday parties, where you can have up to ten kids join you for pizza and cake, as well as a free introductory course. We have the school mascots available as well (a tiger suit and dragon suit--the kinds you would see in parades) to help out with the lesson. All in all, it's a hoot, and people have a good time with that as well.

I use the blockers from Century to have "light saber" battles. These blockers (short and long) have handles and a square foam pad on the end. If the blocker hits your leg..... you have to hop on one leg (since it got cut off) if both legs get cut...... then you have to kneel ..... almost death! They have tons of fun and at the same time are getting beat to death with the foam bats. This is a great into for sparring....... as I have time tested..... later when I introduce light sparring.... there is 90 % less fear of getting hit than the children that didn't participate in the "Jedi" blocker program.

Although they haven't been lightsabers......we have had sparring sessions with "sword and shield", where kids use the one-handed Century blockers as a "sword" and a kickshield as a "shield"....same rules as far as getting hit in arms and legs....lots of fun!!!
