Just a friendly reminder that #Taskmaster Education is on all the social media platforms,* so wherever you are, do give us a little follow because the algorithms (except here) love it.

*we're not on MySpace & were never on Bebo, obviously (one for the Millennials there)

Not long left until we break up for the holidays, so not long left to try out this term's #TeamTasking task with your teams.

It's an arty one and it's a classic.

We’ve had a lot of fun at Jessie Younghusband School for their official opening today. JB Gill was a tough act to follow but the Year 5 and 6 classes certainly brought the energy to their Taste of #TaskmasterClub sessions.

Run Taskmaster Christmas Club with your class during one of the 12 days of Christmas (or before if the timings don’t really work). It will be fun, it will be festive and it will promote teamwork, creativity and problem solving.

Spurs should really have thought about signing Eze in the summer. He does seem like quite a good player. #NLD #ARSTOT

This tune from #MCGrammar about @alexhorne.bsky.social was far too good not to share more widely. We set him the task of including certain words in a rap about Alex and he did not disappoint. 🤩🔥🕶️🎶🎤📋

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).
