Ideas for challenges for kids

So, I have DDs aged 10 & 12. We have a close neighbour with a 2 yo and 4 yo who my kids adore. Now that they can't play together, we have been sending them daily video challenges and we are soon going to run out of ideas so I thought I would ask the MN hive mind. So far we have done:

Find as many books as you can with pigs in
Find 5 yellow toys and order them biggest to smallest
Make a smiley face out of things you find in the garden
Find as many hats as you can and put them on your head
Dress in all the colours of the rainbow

My mum has also been forwarding them to a couple of friends of hers with young kids who are also joining in and so we are feeling the pressure! Smile

Any ideas? TIA

For younger ones, if they have a garden, find 10 or 20 different leaves, and make a nice pattern or picture with them on a sheet of paper. (Glue stick needed).

Find 10 things beginning with P etc (23 challenges right there - X Q and Z might be too tricky!)

We’ve been doing this Lego challenge. Even better if you have someone to do it with so can compare pictures.

Sit still for 5 minutes, with no talking.
Have a teddy bears picnic.
Sing all of the words to the Wheels On The Bus.
Find ten things that are square shaped.
Learn to say hello in five different languages (assuming mum can help them)
Make a dolls'/teddies' house out of a cardboard box.
Kick a balloon in the air 100 times without it touching the floor.
