About
“Sometimes my feelings are so big I really want to sing them” – Destiny
From yoga to flour and lots more in-between, our Challenge Enthusiasts, Sally and Destiny, discover all sorts of feelings while attempting these crazy challenges.
Our five films were created in 2020 using the research and development material from our theatre production BOUNCE and focus on emotional literacy. The films were created and recorded in 2020 using social distancing measures (and a lot of green screen).
Each film focuses on a different emotion and looks at what advice we might give to ourselves or our friends when emotions become overwhelming. The films are aimed at Primary 2 to Primary 5 children (aged 6-10) and there are resource packs available for schools and for parents to compliment the films.
Films
Episode 1 – The Flour Challenge

Episode 5 – Who Can Sing the Longest Challenge
Sally and Destiny are seeing who can sing the longest note. Sally farts in the middle of the note and is really embarrassed. It happens again and Sally finds it very difficult to admit it was her. Destiny changes the challenge to ‘Who has the most embarrassing story?’

“It was set perfectly at the children’s level. Good to see strategies shown at the end of the clip”
Teacher, Portmoak PS, Perth & Kinross
“I think the messages were good and presented in a very accessible way. I think the project is great and the songs are very catchy”
Teacher, St.Marks PS, Edinburgh
“I liked the messages that the videos were representing. I feel that the videos could be used to generate further conversations. The sections at the end with the adjectives could also be used for literacy starters and support other areas of the curriculum”
