School trips just got even better…

@taskmasteredu.bsky.social × @englishheritage.bsky.social = chaos, history and creativity combined.

Teachers - we've created a special set of tasks to use during your trip.

They are weirdly specific with their kissing time allowance in Denmark.

I just walked down this slope in Gatwick Airport on the way to my gate. No one else seemed bothered that it was the scene of the great Munya scandal on #Taskmaster. There wasn’t even a plaque or anything.

If you’re looking for a class read for your KS2 science topic of Rocks, @alexhorne.bsky.social has written the perfect book for you.

There is a mystery or two to solve, themes of bullying, friendship, family and self-esteem and, the all-important, geology.

Here is a helpful little #TaskmasterClub explainer video from Jess Nagy over on TikTok.

Jess explains how she used the Taskmaster Club resources and how, as well as being a lot of fun, it really helped with team building and problem solving.

People who say, ‘whoever invented this deserves a raise’, how do you know how much they got paid?

Surely if the company paid completely over the odds for the invention and put themselves into financial difficulties as a result. That can’t deserve a raise.

If you are enjoying the new series of #Taskmaster (small if) and if you work in a school or with young people anywhere really (bigger if) there is still time to get involved with this term’s #TaskmasterClub.

That final live task gave me flashbacks to when I used to try and teach PE to the Early Years class.

An important message from @alexhorne.bsky.social to parents of young people who are taking part in Taskmaster Club this term (and it's actually just generally some quite good parenting advice really).

It's the start of a new term and we have a very special #TeamTasking task to kick off the new year with. It's an open verse challenge with none other than @mrmcgrammar.bsky.social (and Lil' @alexhorne.bsky.social)

Check out the latest task here... www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F87...

Today’s training run ahead of the Great South was up a ruddy big hill with the legend that is @ianaddison.bsky.social. It was hot, we had an elevation gain of over 400ft and now I need all of the food.

It was a few months ago. I can’t remember the exact day but it was around May/June-ish.

A really lovely day out.

True that was a bit random. I never did tempt him onto that horse though. It will always be one of life’s regrets.

Don’t Forget Your Toothbrush was so good at the time. But (Evans aside) who would you have as a presenter today? Do we have a modern day equivalent or have times changed and the cheeky-chappy thing just doesn’t work any more?

It’s a super early start today 😴 as I’m off the Sheffield for my first #ChildrensMediaConference where I’m looking forward to making connections and sharing the story of @taskmasteredu.bsky.social.

On a school visit yesterday, a child left this note for my on my bag. I don’t know who it was, but it’s great to know that they are having fun and making good memories. Lovely stuff.

One of the best things you can do as a parent is nurture a love of reading in your children. The Summer Reading Challenge from the @readingagency.bsky.social starts today, so get to your local library this week and let your kids choose which epic adventures they will go on this summer.

The comment we get most often is, ‘why isn’t Taskmaster Club available in [insert country here]?’ Well, it is! It can be purchased to be used with kids wherever you are in the world. It’s great in schools and youth groups but also at Summer camps and holiday clubs
