Class & school challenges

Whole-class energy, without putting one child on a podium.

Classes and year groups compete on effort — activities completed, minutes practised, stories read. Team totals are public; individual children never are.

Challenge points come from activities the child would have done anyway — the competition adds urgency, never extra screen time targets.

Child-safety rules built into challenges

  • Teams, never individual children, appear on any public board.
  • Effort-based scoring: activities completed, not fastest child.
  • Every learner's contribution counts the same regardless of level.
  • Teachers can pause a challenge for a class at any time.
  • Challenge results never appear in a child's screening record.
