Play against the clock
People could donate to enter their guess for how quickly you can complete a challenge or what final score you will achieve after a set time. The winner with the closest guess can then get a prize. 

Workplace gaming

Get your boss involved so that everyone can take a quick break from work and play for charity. This could also tie in well with a leader board and a set challenge, such as fastest completion time, with a prize for the winner. 

Retro gaming

Dig out your old consoles and charge people to have a go playing classics from their childhood. 

Hold a gaming tournament

Everyone can get involved in a tournament, even first time gamers, so get a group of friends or colleagues together and charge a small donation to enter.

Livestream gaming marathon

Hosting a live stream gaming marathon can attract a whole new audience and can potentially have a worldwide reach. Do this on your own, or in a team, and see how long you can play games continuously.

Livestream gaming challengesThese could include: how-to gaming sessions, giving players hints and tips on how to complete games or reach new records, all for kind donations; racing against the clock; knockout tournaments with online entrants or live challenges provided by viewers or competing gamers.

• Thank everyone for their support once you have completed your fundraising.

• Take regular breaks – make sure you get up, stretch, and walk around for at least a few minutes every hour
• Planning – make sure you’ve planned your activity in advance and considered any risks to yourself or others. If you are delivering a workshop, do you have everything you need?
• Listen to your body – if you are livestreaming a physical activity, consider if you are confident in what you can do? Have you trained?
• Practice – if you will be delivering an interactive lesson or workshop, have you got everything exactly as you want it and have you ironed out any tricky parts?
• Keep hydrated and have snacks – make sure you have plenty of drinks and supplies to keep you going whatever the activity
• Look after your eyes – give your eyes a break away from the screen, at least for a few minutes every hour
• If you’re not feeling well, stop the stream – even if you’ve committed to more hours, stop the stream and look after yourself

• No one under 18 is allowed to livestream for CHSW, unless with parental supervision and in accordance with any age restrictions on streamed content and streaming platform use
• If you’ve chosen a game with an age restriction or expect your stream to have any content that would be rated above PG, including swearing, you need to make sure you mark your stream age appropriately on Twitch (or the streaming platform you’re using)
• Make sure you are happy with how to manage your audience if livestreaming. Know how to block and report audience members to your streaming platform, and how to manage your chat section and comments
• Always follow the standards of conduct for the platform you are using and pay particular attention to how and where you can report if someone hosting or watching a stream behaves in a way you are unhappy with. This can include if you feel a child is at risk of harm (if at an immediate risk, call 999 in the first instance) or if you see abusive behaviour or inappropriate content for the stream. If you have serious concerns about an adult’s behaviour towards a child, please use the police CEOP reporting tool
• Personal information should never be given out online, unless given by an adult with full consent as to the purpose of the information being shared and in a secure manner
• You can report inappropriate PEGI ratings for games with the video standards council
• You should also be mindful that you don’t feel compelled to keep playing over other activities, or at detriment to yourself. The World Health Organisation has recently recognised gaming disorder as a medical issue. Although not common, this is something to be mindful of. If you are concerned you can find more information and support on the NHS website
