Super Funday

Quick 5-minute activities for kids

Try a team sequence, an object riddle, a sound postcard, a toy story or a copycat game. These real Super Funday missions take about four or five minutes and need little or no preparation. They are suitable for kids aged 5–11; the steps and materials below let you play without the app.

Timings are estimates for the first challenge, not a countdown. Stop after one round or keep playing if everyone is enjoying it.
