Battle Royale Prompt

Choose a side and craft a project to represent your choice. Must be completed within the month of issue, by 11:59 om, Central US time, on the last day of the month. Players may only submit one project per month/Battle. Battle Royale prompts are worth 20 points each and are eligible for all available Bonus Point opportunities.

  • January Battle: Shower vs Bath - CLOSED
  • February Battle: Word Games vs Number Games - CLOSED
  • March Battle: Butter vs Margarine
    (I know this might seem hard-ish at first glance, but think natural verses man-made, so cotton yarn or fabric would be “butter” and acrylic yarn or rayon fabric could be “margarine”… or come up with any other slightly plausible justification!)

Challenge Prompts

January Theme - National Bath Safety Month!
Did you know that January was National Bath Safety Month? I didn’t! But it is true that people get injured around the house all the time, and bathrooms can be slippery places. Make sure you have a good, secure bathmat and shower yoga is NOT recommended!

  • Rubber Duckie (you’re the one!) - craft something that is small, floats, or is yellow (or is a duck or uses a duck!).
  • Bubbles! - craft something round, or white, or something that you tend to see/use in a grouping (or something that actually contains bubbles or uses bubbles to make it!).
  • Scrub-a-dub - craft something that is scratchy, prickly, or is used to clean something (or talks about cleaning/shows cleaning for our art people!).
  • Reading in the Tub - craft something that contains words, is related to reading (there’s a Lettuce Craft Reading Challenge in the Lounge - journal spread, anyone?), or is risky to make (no one wants a soggy book, but that’s a risk).
  • Singing in the Shower - craft something that makes noise, is related to music, or is something you’re not great at (or you think you’re not great at!) but you love doing anyway!

February Theme - This prompt is brought to you by the letters B-R-A-N-D-Y and the number 3!

  • Crossword Puzzles - craft something that is criss-crossed (hatched), has boxes/squares, or incorporated clues.

March Theme - Cookies! This month’s theme brought to you by my baking addiction…

  • Chocolate Chip - craft something tan or brown, soft or melted, or is chocolate.
  • Oatmeal Cranberry - craft something red, or fiber-full, or has different textures.
