What could you do?

Hold a sports day
Organise a school or community sports day inspired by the Commonwealth Games. This could include short races, relays, team games or fun activities designed to suit all ages and abilities.

Set a sporting challenge
Create an individual or team challenge such as a walking or running target, a swim distance, a cycle challenge or a week of daily activity.

Create an obstacle course
Design a simple obstacle course in a playground, park, gym or workplace space. Keep it fun, safe and inclusive, and invite people to take part for a small donation.

Mini tournaments
Run a short tournament using accessible sports such as football, netball, badminton, table tennis or rounders. Teams can pay a small entry fee, with prizes for participation rather than winning.

Relay challenges
Set up a relay where teams collectively complete a distance or number of laps over a day or week. This works well in schools and offices and allows everyone to contribute at their own pace.

Sponsored movement break
Commit to a daily movement challenge for a week, such as a lunchtime walk, stair climb or stretch session, and raise sponsorship.

Dance or fitness sessions
Host a sponsored dance-a-thon, aerobics class, yoga session or fitness circuit inspired by sporting events. These can run in schools, community halls or workplaces.

Steps or activity challenge
Run a steps challenge using phones or fitness trackers. Set a collective target and encourage friendly competition between teams or departments.

Creative challenge
Create sports-themed artwork, posters or classroom displays inspired by the Commonwealth Games. Display them publicly and invite donations.

Host a Commonwealth quiz
Run a Commonwealth themed quiz in a classroom, staff room, hall or community venue. Charge an entry fee or ask teams to fundraise and enjoy some friendly competition.

Cook Your Country food event
Host a food day inspired by your chosen Commonwealth nation. Participants can cook, bake or share dishes that reflect its culture and flavours. Run a shared lunch, tasting table or bake sale and ask for a small donation to take part or vote for a favourite dish. This works well in schools, workplaces and community groups.
