Monthly Challenge 2026/27

Anchors "First to Nine! 

Can you conquer all nine cups? Set up nine plastic cups in a bowling-pin formation, facing upwards. Stand back, grab your marshmallows and get tossing! Your mission: land a marshmallow in every cup as quickly as possible! If you throw and get it in, super- if you throw and get it in the same cup a second time, keep going! It’s until there is something in every cup!

Everyone gets one throw, then heads to the back of the line. Keep the rotation going and see how quickly your team can complete the challenge! If by yourself, keep going until finished.

You might want to fix the cups to a piece of cardboard using double-sided tape or glue. That way, they stay put and you can focus on the fun rather than resetting! Photos/videos are super for this."

Juniors "THE ANIMAL ALPHABET! 

How many animals can you name? Start with an animal beginning with A. The next animal must begin with the last letter of the previous animal.

For example: Aardvark → Koala → Ant → Tiger → Rabbit…

You've got two minutes to name as many animals as possible! The only rule: You can't use the same animal twice.

Once you've finished, you then need to draw the animals you named! Your total named and then drawn afterwards combine to get your final score!"

Company "THE LEGO MAN! LET THE BUILDING BATTLE BEGIN! 

Think you've got what it takes to become the ultimate LEGO architect? Your mission is simple: build the tallest LEGO person or character you possibly can! 

It can be: A person, character, robot, superhero or something completely wild from your imagination! There are no limits to creativity — just see how high you can build!

Who can create the tallest LEGO character? Channel your inner LEGO Master and get building! Send us the photos/videos of construction and the finished article."

Seniors "MARSHMALLOW CATCH! 

How far can you go? Stand behind the marked starting line. Throw a marshmallow into the air in front of you, then sprint forward and try to catch it in your mouth! 

When you make the catch, mark where your feet have landed. Then… try again and see if you can beat your distance! Let us know how far you get. Photos and videos are welcomed!"

Anchors "Create the best rainbow you can!

Quite simple, but relatively straightforward.

Biggest, Brightest, Paint, draw, design, craft. Completely up to you!"

Juniors "Biscuit Face!

Put a Jaffa Cake, Oreo, or Custard Cream on the forehead. Using nothing other than fascial movments, eat the treat! Record your times and definitely the funny faces!"

Company "Malteaser movement!

You need to have a bag of malteasers (20) and two bowls. Pour the malteasers into one bowl and put the other about half a metre away. 

You then using a straw, pick up a malteaser by sucking the air through, and then dropping it into the other bowl. Fastest time to move 20 wins! "

Seniors "Trick Shots!

Your only instructions are to make a video of a table tennis ball bouncing into a plastic cup. The most creative idea wins! Think about how many bounces, does it go down a maze, how does it get into the cup? The possibilities are endless…"

Anchors "Balloon Floor is lava!

Using two inflated balloons, you have to stop them touching the floor.

Get centrally in a room and hold a balloon in each hand. Throw them up in the air and the longest time you can keep both balloons airborne for wins! 

Remember, no resting a balloon on a body part or furniture. And the moment the first balloon touches the ground, your time is up! "

Juniors "Spring Cleaning!

Mark an area on a non-carpeted floor 50cm x 50cm... Then drop 50 table tennis balls on the floor! 

Using a broom only, sweep as many of the balls back into the area. 

You have 60 seconds, whoever has the most back in in that time wins! (If you finish and get all 50 stationary inside before the timer expires, put that as your score!)"

Company "Save the egg!

You have to drop an egg from the highest possible distance you can onto a non-carpeted surface, without it breaking.

Completely up to you to decide how you do it, but need photo/video evidence to prove, with egg before and after!"

Seniors "Build a Remote Control Car Race Track, that can be used. Most unique, best designed!

Add flair, creativity, whatever you would like."

Anchors "Put a Sock on it!

Wear as many pairs of socks as you can at one time. Most pairs of socks wins!"

Juniors "M&M Split!

Get a packet of M&Ms, a glass bowl and oven gloves. 

Pour the M&Ms into a bowl and then put on the oven gloves. You have to then split the M&Ms all into their colours, using only the gloves you are wearing. 

Fastest time wins!"

Company "Volcanic Eruption!

Tape a bottle of Coke/Pepsi to a tray/bucket/flat surface and unscrew the lid. 

From as far back as you can, throw a mint into the drink. The furthest distance wins!"

Seniors "Create a 30-second Advert for your company!

You can act, dance, create a stop-motion, whatever you wish to do, it is completely up to you!"

Anchors """X marks the Cup!""

You’ll need 25 plastic cups for this game. Start by placing a sticker on the bottom of one, or marking it with an X. Lay out all the cups and fill them with water to the brim. You then have 60 seconds to lift up each cup until they find the marked one. 

This one guarantees kids will get wet, so you’ll certainly want to take it outside."

Juniors "They scored!

Make the best ""goal""

All that needs to happen is a football to go into a goal. Make it the most interesting, exciting way you can. 

Company "Build the largest bridge that can support the weight of a human. 

Only rules are that it has to be from scratch, and the person must be at least 50cm off the floor!"

Seniors "Domino Rally!

Make the best domino relay video you can. You can use dominos, or any items you want. 

As an example; a ball could roll down two parallel sticks and hit a book which, in turn, hits another tennis ball, which then rolls into something else.

Best rally wins! "
