way to boost morale and get Team Whizz-Kidz
your colleagues motivated. Working 9-5
Why not add some fundraising It’s all taking (and some giving)
in to your working day?
We’ve kick-started the fun
for you – have a look at
some of our handy ideas!
??
Calling all
‘I think therefore I am…going to do something ridiculous for charity.’ Someone somewhere has definitely said that. Pick your favourite quotes, get your colleagues in to teams with a petite admission donation, and laugh at them while they try to decide whether it was Shakespeare or Susan Boyle
who said that thing about dreaming a dream.
Challenge Challenge
the Boss…the Boss…to make the tea, wash up after lunch, photocopy those 300 brochures you’ve been putting off… the possibilities are endless. Get your team to put £1 and
their chosen challenge in to a hat, draw out a few corkers at random, sit back and enjoy. Milk and 2 sugars please.
Wine-tasting Wine-tasting on a Friday on a Friday afternoon?afternoon?
I couldn’t poss-Chablis.I couldn’t poss-Chablis.You could. Gather your colleagues
who like a drink – you know the ones – chip in a fiver (to cover the
Chardonnay and a bit extra to cover your boozing-at-work
conscience by giving to a lovely kids’ charity we can think of)
siphon some plastic cups and sit round the kitchen table. Pretend to know what tannins and smoky notes are, and get a bit woozy for the weekend while you’re at it. Don’t Quote MeDon’t Quote Me
Sometimes there are no words.
Caption your Caption your imaginationimagination
With a caption competition. £1 to enter, the entry that makes you spit your tea out wins a fiver / office notice board notoriety.

Get your apron on and your friends round the office kitchen, and wow them (or not) with your best culinary skills. Get them to give you a score out of 10 for your efforts and pay the amount in pounds in to a kitty. Repeat the whole thing each lunch break for a week so everyone has their turn at being Chef - whoever Whizz Hint!

and fine anyone who even mentions a thought shower.
Office Pub QuizOffice Pub QuizQ: What’s the perfect way to spend a lunch break?
A. Pretend you’re down the Rovers and have a pub quiz to test your knowledge of football teams and the names of Brangelina’s kids. Charge an entry fee, nominate a Quizmaster and get your teams at the ready. Phone-googling
under the table strictly forbidden. Tsk.
Car WashCar WashWe’re not talking bikinis and hose-fights, but whatever floats your Fiat
Punto. Set up a team of willing washers and head on down to the office car park at lunch time, sponges and suds at the ready. Charge a fee for your services and lather up! There’s only one rule –
the boss has to pay extra.
Whizz Hint! Why not try a car wash at a Fun Day too?
Nominate a colleague to complete challenges over a month in return for
money (that they will then painstakingly give to Whizz-Kidz but
they’ll feel really good about themselves, we promise).

Ballet vs tap vs hip hop vs ballroom – the style doesn’t matter. Think musical chairs without the chairs – 5 minutes rounds and the loudest audience cheers pick the winners, who fight it out
in a dance-dual.

the pies?the pies?
You can never go wrong with a good old
eating contest. Get creative by swapping
the traditional meat and potato for Crème
Eggs or spaghetti hoops, and ban use of
hands! Napkins and sick buckets optional.
Space man Space man

can join in too, if the adults ever
stop hogging the Hoppers.

Fancy dress with a twist. You need a judge - preferably one who reads Heat magazine and knows a telephone hat from a lobster fascinator - an entry fee, and a prize (might we suggest
another amazing overleaf Team Whizz-Kidz certificate).
