Take on the Taskmaster
This year, we’re teaming up with the champions of silliness: Taskmaster Education.
Together, we’ve devised some terrifically tricky tasks to test your pupils’ teamwork, problem solving and creativity. From a skyscraper caper that’s a real balancing act, to creating hooter shooter Nose launchers, and a classic game of Nose pong, fun and LOLs are guaranteed.
Ask everyone to pay to play or sell tickets to your own Taskmaster show, then pick one task or do them all, it’s up to you. After all, for one day only, you are the Taskmaster.

Other ways to get involved…

Bake yourself funny for money
Shake up your bake sale by asking budding chefs to render their favourite member of staff in cake or biscuit form. From tasty Rich Tea-chers to a dunkable deputy head and a SENCO-conut cake, the base can be bought or baked. Then it’s all in the eye-cing.
Tour de Farce
Prepare to bring some serious Olympic prowess to PE, with a large side of silly. Think teachers racing toddler bikes, pupils taking on fancy-dress relays, a hobby horse derby or the 100m animal sprint (crab walking anyone?!) Pupils can pay to take part, pick a winner, or simply buy tickets to watch the mayhem unfold.
Get quizzical
Think you Nose it all? Put those brain cells to the test with our free quizzes. Collect donations for a lunchtime brain-teaser, or make an evening of it, selling tickets for a friendly (or fierce?) parents vs. teachers face-off.
You can find Susan Calman's quiz here(opens in new window).
Crowdfund my Cringe
Find a willing colleague to step up and prepare for some #awks major cringing. Together, choose something seriously embarrassing - rapping in assembly, dancing in the playground or just wearing a rival football shirt. Then set a fundraising target. If your pupils hit the total, it’s game on!
Red to Toe
Are you red-dy to put a new spin on non-uniform day? From scarlet socks to ruby slippers, a raspberry beret to a crimson cape (or just a classic Red Nose and Red Nose Day T-shirt combination), ask everyone to wear red in return for a donation. Bonus points to anyone who goes red from head to toe.

Do your own thing
Got a better idea? Go for it! The sillier the better - when it comes to Red Nose Day, no idea is too weird or wonderful. Because, through simple acts of silliness, we can change some serious stuff for the better.

Whether it’s an organisation in your community, or a community further afield, your generosity means local organisations can keep helping people when they need it most, with essential things like a warm meal, a place to feel safe and, above all, someone to help turn fear into hope.
