Get ready for a competition filled with creativity, laughter, and brilliantly silly challenges, all inspired by the hit TV show Taskmaster!
Purple Mash and Taskmaster Education have joined forces to find the next ‘Taskmasher’, and pupils are invited to take part in the challenge!
Schools who make use of the brilliant Purple Mash resources to support learning across the curriculum now have the chance to attempt some delightfully daft challenges and prepare them for the grand finale – where they’ll unleash their imaginations and create their very own task!
Purple Mash will help along the way, providing a space for pupils to tackle some of the challenges and submit their task for the competition element.
What’s This All About?
If you’re unfamiliar with Taskmaster, here’s the gist: it’s all about tackling unusual, often absurd challenges in the most inventive way possible. Now, thanks to Taskmaster Education and Purple Mash, children have the chance to step into the spotlight!
But this competition isn’t just about completing tasks—it’s about creating them too. After warming up with some classic Taskmaster-style silliness, the pupils will dream up their own brilliantly bonkers task. The winning entry will even be brought to life in a special video starring none other than Little Alex Horne!
