Put A Finger Down Challenge
This challenge started before parts of the world started experiencing the effects of Corona Virus and an eventual shutdown. It is a fun way for parents and children to catch up and know what each person has been up to. Popular Teenage sensation, Marsai Martins and her dad made us fall in love with the challenge. There are different variations of this challenge on TikTok incase you don’t want one that has swear words or anything X rated. You can also do a voice over by yourself

Put A Finger Down Challenge African Version
This is another variation of the “Put a finger down challenge” but this time, it is with things peculiar to an African mother. There’s no need to tell you how interesting this is, the challenge speaks for itself. Let your kids do this and rate how much of a typical African parent you are.
Flip The Switch Challenge
Almost everybody on Social media has done this challenge. Okay, that’s an exaggeration. But it will be fun to try it too.
Toosie slide
This challenge started when Drake released his new song ” Toosie Slide “. It reminds us of the iconic electric slide. Put on your dancing shoes and do this together as a family. The dance is not the only interesting part, getting everybody to learn the moves will definitely make you laugh.

Don’t Rush Challenge
Everybody loves to play dress up and this challenge makes you do just that. It’s a social media sensation as many find it interesting and fun to do. It involves changing looks seamlessly while passing on a make-up brush or any item to someone else who will then have their own glow up moment. Nigerians have even gone on to join in following popular Nigerian Artiste, Falz’ version of the challenge. He calls it the ‘#BopDaddyChallenge’.
