Fruitshoot - Champions of the Playground

Fruitshoot have created a new campaign to help get kids involved in learning new skills and to help keep active. Champions of the Playground (COTP) encourages children to challenge their friends both online and in person to a series of games and activities that will gain 'skill points' that can then help them climb to the top of the online leader board and then ultimately crown them Champion of the Playground.

Our family was sent a COPT pack that contained a digi-skip, a digi-kick - both kept digital scores of how many kicks or skips you managed.  There was also a webcam so you could upload to the website, a stopwatch, score board and a lovely Fruitshoot drawstring bag to store it all in.

The challenge was called Champion of the Playground but we decided to do it at home and have our own Champion of the Household instead - any excuse for me to skip and act like a kid...

We took it in turns to skip with the digi rope, do keepy-uppys with the digi-kick using the palms of our hands and also on our feet  (the digi-kick didn't seem to count score when used on your feet so we had to keep our own scores for that part)  We timed each other for 2 minutes and had three turns on each activity.  Every score was recorded on our Champion of the Household scoreboard so we could see how we were doing.

Pre-teen starts the skip challenge

I was really bad at keepy-uppys using my feet and never scored more than 2!!  My son was by far the best at this challenge.

keepy-uppys on the foot....

..and on the palm of your hand.

Once we had taken all our turns we added up all the scores so we could crown our Champion of the Household:

and the winner is.......

I really enjoyed this household challenge as it got us all involved, having fun and laughing - usually at how bad I was at the challenges!  Although I have very active children I am not so active so it was good for them to see me getting involved and my daughter was surprised that I was not too bad at skipping.

The Scoreboard is able to be wiped clean and the digi-rope and digi-kick are robust so we will definitely be doing the challenge again.  As an extra bonus, once the score had been counted on the digitalised kit a code is generated that can then be added to the Fruitshoot website so you can play against other people.  Sadly the website did not work for us but we will keep trying as it is a nice idea.
