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.

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.

You can never go wrong with a good old

the traditional meat and potato for Crème

Eggs or spaghetti hoops, and ban use of

hands! Napkins and sick buckets optional.

Gaga…Gaga…

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).

Because who doesn’t want to wear a beef steak on a hot summer’s day?
