World Cup Challenge: Pass-the-Ball

June 10, 2010

Have you seen the award-winning movie with Kevin Spacey “Pay it Forward”? – Loved the idea: when someone does you a big favour, don’t pay it back… Pay It Forward! Is it possible for one idea to change the world? – A young boy decides that if he can do three good deeds for someone and they in turn can “pay it forward” and so forth, positive changes can occur.

The challenge

With a similar idea, GreenKiddie is now calling all bloggers and challenge-lovers! To stay in line with the World Cup, we are challenging you with a simple blogging game: Pass-the-Ball! All you need to do is to recommend 3 blogs that you like most to your peeps in Twitter or through your blog! The game will continue for the duration of the World Cup!

How to do it

1/ Choose your favourite 3 blogs

2/ Try to think of something that unites them – are they all about babycare, parenting, working mums, etc., or are they make you think positively, brings a smile on your face, or are practical, funny, helpful…?

3/ Say it! – Recommend these 3 blogs to your friends and followers!

If you are going to do it:

- As a Blog Post: write something similar to: “I pass-the-ball to X, Y and Z blogs for (making me smile/ their parenting advice/ sense of humour)!” You may wish to be more “wordy” when describing the blogs. Please don’t forget to post links to the blogs of your choice.

- On Twitter: use the frame: “#passtheball to X, Y, Z for their blogs which make up my day!”

4/ Let the bloggers know that you’ve mentioned their sites, and make sure you say “thank you” to those who mention yours!

5/ Pay it Forward When someone recommends your blog, it’s now YOUR TURN to recommend others. So don’t stop the game, but please pay it forward.

Let me start first
