Level up challenge

For this challenge, grab some books, toilet paper, or anything that can easily be stacked. The aim is to see who can jump the highest and over the most items. Slowly begin stacking or “leveling up" your objects as you each take turns jumping over it. The person who manages to jump over the most items successfully wins the challenge.*

Flip the switch challenge 

You can try this popular TikTok challenge with any number of friends. Stand In front of a mirror with your recording, turn the light off, and pause the video. Quickly swap outfits and places with your friends and press record again as you turn the lights back on and hey presto! You’ve switched places.

Koala challenge

This is a challenge of strength with a tricky problem-solving twist. One person stands up straight with their arms to the side acting as the base whilst another person hangs off them and tries to climb across the person like a koala bear in a tree. This challenge is best done with two people but is equally fun with more. It might take a bit of practice to complete with your friends, but every attempt will be super entertaining.
