The gift they have to earn.
Five new winter challenges, made for doing with your crew. Longest Night is a limited edition and retires January 31.
Pick your challenge
FORT BUILDER
Build a fort. Eat dinner in it.
The challenge: Build a fort big enough for your whole crew, give it a name, then serve a real dinner inside it. Snow fort or blanket fort, either one earns the badge.
Built yours in the living room? Get the Blanket Fort badge or sticker.
LONGEST NIGHT · LIMITED EDITION
Throw a light parade during the longest nights.
The challenge:
Any night from the solstice (December 21) through January 31, wrap your crew in string lights, glow sticks and headlamps, then parade through the dark together. The more lit up, the better, dog included. This badge retires January 31.
JINGLE JAM
Make your own instruments. Go caroling.
The challenge: Round up at least three people and make your own instruments: coffee-can drums, jingle-bell jars, pot-lid cymbals. Then carol at a friend’s or neighbor’s door as a band. Every player plays something they made. Show us the band mid-song, ideally with the face of whoever opens the door.
BLACK TIE PLUNGE
Take a polar plunge. In black tie.
The challenge: Whenever your crew gets together this winter, dress up in your fanciest and take a polar plunge. Freezing and fancy. Have towels and something warm waiting, never plunge alone, and keep it short.
HOLLY JOLLY HUNT
Deck the strangers.
The challenge: Print the hunt card, grab your crew and talk willing strangers into festive photo ops. Decorate one like a Christmas tree, gift-wrap one, let it snow on one. Fill 8 of the 12 squares to earn it. Ask first, always, and thank every good sport with a candy cane, a vintage gift or a “You’ve been Jolly’d” card.
Print the Holly Jolly Hunt card (PDF) before you go. Page 2 has the “You’ve been Jolly’d” cards.
