This is it…the final level of your Funology journey!
So far, you’ve raced spoons, launched noodles, built obstacle courses, and even roared like a T. Rex. Along the way, you’ve cracked game codes, debated strategy vs. luck, and earned your Junior Funologist stripes.
Specially designed by Nickelodeon + Mizzen Education, this next leg of the Funology journey has grades 3-5 jumping, laughing, and imagining nonstop. This final week is where imagination, research, and teamwork collide for the ultimate showdown: creating and sharing brand-new games for Worldwide Day of Play!
Here’s what’s on deck in Activities 9-12:
✨ Wallball challenges that sharpen hand-eye coordination and teamwork
✨ Game design sessions where youth analyze, brainstorm, and build original ideas
✨ Testing + refining games with peers (because Funologists know every great game takes a little tinkering)
✨ Game Day! The big reveal where youth debut their creations and celebrate like pros
Every spark of creativity, every silly debate, and every “aha!” moment in The Play Lab has been leading to this. Now it’s time for students to unleash everything they’ve learned, show off their Funologist powers, and bring their original games to life!
Strap on your lab goggles because FUN just leveled up! ⚡
“Booyakasha!” — that’s Michelangelo’s pizza-powered rally cry, and it’s the exact energy we have going into Week 2 at The Play Lab!
Last week, youth raced spoons, javelin-launched pool noodles, and cracked the mystery of what makes games so ridiculously fun. They argued strategy vs. luck, uncovered their own play styles, and proudly earned their Junior Funologist stripes.
Now, cue the confetti cannons…because the quest gets wilder from here!
Join us this week for So get ready to skip, crab-walk, roar, invent, and evaluate, because this week’s activities are all about moving big, imagining bigger, and flexing Funologist creativity to the max! In Activities 5-8, get ready for fleet-footed soccer drills, DIY obstacle course creations, and role-play adventures where youth can stomp like T. Rexes, save the day like superheroes, or imagine avatars of their own. Top it all off with a turbo-charged 3-line soccer showdown that blends nonstop action with game analysis.
Grab your goggles, lab coats, and imagination! The Play Lab is BACK at Mizzen!
