Want to develop a sense of community and pride at your school while encouraging teamwork, creativity and fun? Team Tasking from Taskmaster Education is just the thing and it’s completely free for schools and other groups to get involved with, anywhere in the world.
At the beginning of each half term, Alex Horne will set a task for groups of children to attempt. In schools, the pupils can compete in houses, tutor groups, phases, bases, year groups or other groups against other houses, tutor groups, phases, bases, year groups or other groups. Away from school, the termly #TeamTasking task can be completed by home education hubs, Scout/Guide groups, youth clubs, or any other setting where children or young people gather.
The task will be set at the beginning of each half term and should be completed by the teams before the appointed Taskmaster gets to dish out the points. The chosen Taskmaster could be the Headteacher, the Brown Owl, the Mayor of your town or some other unbiased, upstanding member of your community.
The first task will be posted to our YouTube channel on September 1st 2024 with a new task coming at the beginning of each half term thereafter. Team Tasking is designed to be a competition between peers in schools and other settings, but if you wish to share any of you attempts more widely, do share them on social media using #TeamTasking.
