This week's excuse for not doing enough bass practice...cutting my finger on an apri-ski bottle of orangina

Before our #SchoolTasking students went into their schools we asked them to guess the most popular team name... and nobody got it right! Out of the 45 year 5 teams involved the most popular name was...chicken nuggets

If you're a school close to Warwick Arts Centre & would like to join us on 17 June to watch the #SchoolTasking Champion of Champions, hosted by @alexhorne.bsky.social, then do register your interest at this link: forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/respon... Tickets are free but transport is not covered.

And so it begins! This year's season of School Tasking sessions start today at The University of Warwick 🎉💌

Had the best fun doing the @taskmasteredu.bsky.social Christmas special session as a belated social with my youth group on Friday. Reckon Jan is the best time for something festive! Love that it's a one off session that you can just pick up and run with. Would recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (not biased at all 😂)

I was so excited to meet this bear 😂

Did one of my favourite tasks this morning 💌 #taskmaster

Adverts should be representative of traditional British families.

Just learnt that it's "drink cider from eleven" and not "drink cider from a lemon". Well that explains a lot 😅

THE super fan event to be at

A Brief History of Men are Becoming Less Manly 🧵

Absolutely joyous 🥰

Felt it was time to put my brave hat on again and have joined a ceilidh band playing bass. First gig this evening, this could be a joyous evening or crushingly awful, we'll see 😅

Saw Starter for Ten at Bristol Old Vic last night. Absolutely brilliant production and Mel Giedroyc is a complete superstar 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Taskmaster is in this week’s Beano! Waaaaaah!

As well as being so proud of the work this project does, I'm also a little bit pleased with how much excel I've learnt this summer (it's like magic! 😅)

Whilst we're on the subject of #Taskmaster, our 2024-25 impact report is now available: taskmastereducation.com/sites/defaul... We're so proud of the fact that last year we worked with schools in some of the least-advantaged areas across the UK & Ireland. And the kids really enjoyed the project 🤩

To celebrate #Taskmaster day, I've woken up my Etsy shop (after being asleep for six months 😅). Just a couple of Alexes in there for now but hopefully more soon! www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Felt...

This is simply brilliant 😂

We've been super quiet over the summer with the whole team having a well-earned rest, but #SchoolTasking action is ramping up once again for the start of the 2025-26 season! Are you a university keen to find out more? Now is the time to reach out for an initial chat. It's LOTS of fun, we promise.

Alex Horne!

Last summer I posted some holiday #Taskmaster tasks for kids over on the other site and I thought it was worth sharing again here 😊 They're all designed that they should be low effort for you (well mostly!) but will hopefully keep the kids busy so you can grab a well deserved cup of tea ☕ 💌

Had THE BEST time running a couple of year 6 @taskmasteredu.bsky.social sessions in a couple of local primary schools. The perfect post SATs activity. The kids were brilliant, the teachers were happy, and I got to boss everyone around. Happy days!

This shows all the ridiculous madness of the School Tasking final!

I loved this day…

Last month more than 800 little Taskers descended upon the Warwick Arts Centre for the School Tasking Champion of Champions 2025, and you can recap the madness in this lovely video below 👇

This little book is out and about! Would love you to read it. amzn.eu/d/h0aTORg

To celebrate the finale of this current series of #Taskmaster we're finally eating the potato with goggly eyes from the school tasking champion of champions. It's been on quite a journey!

Oh my goodness, I had the best time. Everyone was so competitive and took to the tasks like ducks to water. And someone said I look like Susie Dent which is entirely not true at all but I'll absolutely take it 😂

My friend runs a lunchtime social club for older people and she's doing a #taskmaster session tomorrow. I'm tagging along and I'm very excited 💌

Need a bit of cheering up this evening so I guess it's trying to land a plane time again (we've already crashed twice 😅)

Following the staff Away Day on Tuesday, that's officially a wrap on #SchoolTasking 2024-25 🎉 And we've already started planning for 2025-26! 40 universities taking part (our biggest year yet) & Champion of Champions date locked in 🏆 Want your university to be involved? Get in touch ✉️

Need a bit of a distraction this evening so aperol spritz whilst trying to land a plane it is then

We say this every year (on platforms that Alex isn't really active on, because he gets embarrassed when people say nice things about him out loud...) but he gives so much time and attention to these kids, making their day just so special ✨

School Tasking Champion of Champions was an absolute blast! #Taskmaster

Getting all the important work done today #Schooltasking #Taskmaster

Not just one #Taskmaster celebrity featuring in the Champion of Champions next week... 🏆

When a task is so good you immediately have to try it out with your youth group @taskmaster.tv

Does not seem like 4 years ago that the eldest started being given tasks in his lunchbox 💌 and now he's old enough to go to see The Horne Section with me this evening. I'm excited to see his reaction to the show, he's excited for the snacks.

Alex asked some of his closest friends to help with promo for S2 of The Horne Section TV Show. Here’s what we got from Georgia Tennant

We have our teams for the #SchoolTasking Champion of Champions 🎉 They are: Preppy Kids (North) Prison Breakers (South) Law Busters (Ireland) Da Nuggets (Scotland) Brockwell Mega Minds (Middle) Dream Team (West) See you all at Warwick on 19 June for tasking nonsense with @alexhorne.bsky.social! 🏆

Sometimes we take over universities, sometimes law firms, but yesterday we took over the stunning @englishheritage.bsky.social venue, Blackfriars Priory in Gloucester for the #SchoolTasking West Regional Final 🤩 With huge thanks to English Heritage for having us in such an amazing setting 🏆

Please can we take a moment to marvel at what a team of 9-10 year olds can do in 45 minutes when given some Lego & an iPad? Video courtesy of one of our brilliant #SchoolTasking finalist teams, the Preppy Kids, who were working with Lancaster University 👏 See you at the Champion of Champions! 🏆

At School Tasking we're busy getting ready for our Champion of Champions event. For me this means a lot of emails and spreadsheets but it also means a bit of this too 🥰 💌 #Taskmaster

Taskmaster bleeped is now available at channel4.com. Hopefully new eps will be a bit quicker to emerge! 💌
