Organise a series of quick, fun challenges that individuals or teams can complete in just 60 seconds each. Some Youth Sport Trust ideas can be found here: https://www.youthsporttrust.org/free-resources-list/school-support-free-resources-list/60-second-physical-activity-challenges

• Sports day:

Host a sports day celebrating nostalgic competition including the egg and spoon and potato sack races! Sell tickets for spectators to raise additional funds.​

• Obstacle course challenge:

Set up an obstacle course and invite participants to navigate through it as quickly as possible. Participants can raise funds by collecting a registration fee.​

• Sports equipment sale:

Collect pre loved sports equipment from pupils, parents, colleagues, or community members and host a sale. Proceeds can go towards Youth Sport Trust programmes.​

• Sports quiz:

Host a sports-themed quiz where teams compete to answer questions about sports history, athletes, and rules. Charge an entry fee for teams to participate. ​
