 Hi there! We’re Charlotte & Jamie, the husband and wife team behind the
Pawprint Family and we believe in #AdventureForAll.
It’s our mission to help leaders, teachers and parents save time by
providing ideas and opportunities to help them deliver everyday
adventure and skills for life. We do this through our family of
brands; find out more below and head to the website for your next
adventure!

Pawprint Badges provides thousands of free activity ideas and resources to help leaders, teachers and parents
deliver fun and adventure.
Every activity helps you share skills for life and is linked to one of our pawesome embroidered badges. Build
your collection and celebrate adventures, new skills and knowledge gained.

Pawprint Trails are treasure-hunt style walks around locations in the UK. Solve puzzles, track down the answers
and explore everything our great country has to offer.
From historical sights to popular culture discover something new or rediscover a love for where you live then
collect the badge to remember your adventures!
Whether you’re looking for the perfect addition to your next family holiday or a few hours of fun with friends;
each trail can be completed in a few hours or extended with our activity suggestions in to a weekend or a
week’s worth of fun!

Pawprint Tales are fully illustrated stories that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Join Alfie (our fox-red
Labrador) on his adventures around the UK – solving puzzles, turning detective and making new friends. With
twists and turns, every tale is an opportunity to discover new places, people and history without needing to
leave the comfort of your own home.
Enjoy Pawprint Tales alongside your Pawprint Trails or as a standalone adventure!

Every brand in the Pawprint Family supports the Pawprint Trust with a percentage of profits from every sale
providing grants to young people. We’re passionate about enabling young people to access life changing
adventures.

 Craft
Make a felt pizza. You could even make a mini felt pizza and turn it into a
brooch or clothes pin.

Design your own pizza box. Why not draw your design onto our ‘Mini Pizza
Box’ free resource? This can be downloaded for free from our website.

Transform a paper plate into a pizza. Use pencils, pens or paint to create
your paper pizza. You could use it to set up a pretend pizza restaurant to
serve to your ‘guests’ for your ‘other’ activity.

Make a 2D shape pizza.

How?
Cut out a large cardboard circle and a large circle of pizza sauce. Next, cut a variety of
shapes out of different coloured paper to look like pizza toppings. Make sure you cut a
mixture of sizes too. For example, you could cut out small pink squares to represent ham
slices, or red circles to look like pepperoni. Once you’ve cut out all of your shapes, make
your 2D pizza with the shape toppings you’ve made.

Mix, shape and form a play dough pizza. For an extra challenge, try to make
a batch of edible play dough that you can eat.

Draw or sew together some pizza bunting. Why not hang it around the room
if you’re holding a pizza party?

Build a pretend pizza oven out of cardboard.

Create some pizza party invitations. Your invitations could feature a

pepperoni pattern, or an imaginary pizza restaurant logo. Could your
invitation look like a slice of pizza?

Carve potatoes to look like toppings and print a pizza pattern with paint.

Use our free ‘Mini Pizza Box’ resource to make and decorate your own mini
pizza box out of paper or card. Download this resource for free from our
website. You could use them as pizza party favours and put pizza sweets
inside them.

Challenge yourself to make a crochet pizza. Find out how to make one on
our ‘Pizza’ board on Pinterest.

Make and decorate a pizza party hat. You could have this as an activity at a
pizza party for your young people to do. Everyone could make their own with
readily prepared paper cones, string and paper pizza toppings.
 Food
You can’t complete the Pizza Challenge without making an actual pizza!
Construct and cook a pizza with toppings of your choice.

Bake a cookie pizza/pizza cookies.

Cook some pizza rolls/roll ups. Find these on our ‘Pizza’ Pinterest board.

Make a dessert pizza. Some people think it’s weird, some people think it’s
wonderful.

How?
Swap your savoury toppings for sweet treats instead. Use chocolate sauce instead of
tomato sauce to cover your pizza base. You could sprinkle giant chocolate buttons on top
instead of pepperoni slices. Go extra sweet and make a sweet bread pizza dough too!

Bake a calzone - a pizza folded in half, and usually filled with toppings, before
it’s cooked.

See if you can list all of the different pizza flavours you can buy from your
local pizza takeaway or restaurant (e.g. margarita, Hawaiian, Texas barbecue,
etc.) Not sure which they sell? Take a trip down there and browse (or buy)
the pizzas on offer.

Learn how to make your own pizza dough from scratch.

Bake a cake that looks like a pizza but tastes like a cake. Check out our ‘Pizza’
board on Pinterest for pizza cakes that are sure to top any other snack at a
pizza party.

Invite guests around to your house and hold a pizza party or have one in
your classroom/unit.

Order in a pizza takeaway or go out for pizza at a restaurant.

Try pizza pasta. It uses all of the usual ingredients used to make a pizza
(dough is swapped for pasta) but with a few added extras. I bet it’s just as
tasty as a normal pizza!

Use the toppings of a pizza but make it into a different dish that isn’t pizza.

Make a healthy fruit pizza with fruit of your choice. You could use a large
watermelon slice as your pizza base.

Construct a tortilla pizza – a quick and easy recipe that kids can help with.
 Games
Roll a pizza. Roll the dice and see which toppings fate decides you should
have on your pizza. From sauce and cheese to veggies and other toppings,
you’ll never draw the same pizza twice. You could even roll the dice as usual
but actually make a real pizza with whichever toppings you roll. Download
this game from our website for free.

Activity extension...
Page 2 of this resource gives you a twist on this game. Before playing, price up each item
and give yourself a budget. Can you roll a full pizza with sauce, cheese, toppings, veggies
and extras all for £7.50? Think about the cost of each item and how much they might
cost in real life (e.g. a pack of peppers might cost £1.25, but a pack of chicken might cost
£2.50!)

Create your own pizza quiz/trivia.

Pieces of pizza. Use the shape pizza toppings that you made for your shape
pizza craft activity to hide around the room. Challenge your young people to
find the hidden toppings around the room and complete their pizza before
the other team do, or before the timer runs out. Make sure you get your
order right! Orders can be called out by a leader, teacher or parent.

Play a game of pin the pepperoni on the pizza. Draw a pizza onto large paper
or cardboard and cut out some paper pepperoni pieces to pin onto the pizza
whilst blindfolded.

Get a slice of this action! Make a pizza as fast as you can. Go head to head
with a partner, friend or family member and make a pizza from scratch or
just add the correct toppings onto a pre-made pizza base.

See how many pizza toppings you can name in 10 seconds.

Balance the box. See if you can complete an obstacle course with a pizza
box on your head. Need more of a challenge? Balance two boxes instead!
Maybe don’t try this with any pizzas inside the boxes though... that would be
a dough-saster!

Pizza toss. Use the cardboard pizza you’ve made for your craft activity to
see how far you can toss your pizza. Make the game more challenging by
throwing the pizza with your less dominant hand.

Play Pizza Bingo. Draw 8 different toppings onto your pizza and cross
them off as a leader calls them out. The first person to cross off all of their
toppings wins. Download this resource for free from our website.
 Other
Set up your own pretend pizza restaurant/pizza takeaway. Make your own
restaurant signs, decorate with the pizza bunting you made for your craft
activity, and serve pretend or real pizzas.

Plan a pizza making workshop in a local restaurant. Some restaurants like

Frankie & Benny’s offer pizza making workshops for children for less than
£10 per child.

Write your own pizza menu with toppings of your choice. This could be a
sweet or savoury menu, or both. Why not make your own menu cards too
and use them in your pretend pizza restaurant?

Watch how pizzas are traditionally made in Italy or Italian restaurants near
you. Some places even make the pizzas right in front of you.

For an extra cheesy challenge, you could make your own pizza making video.
How about a slice of that action?!

Find out where pizzas originated from, right down to the town they came
from. Is it where you thought it was?

Learn your fractions with pizzas! A classic maths activity for young children
from the age of 5 onwards. Learn what a whole looks like, as well as one half
and one quarter. No need for extra resources with this one. Simply learn
how to cut your pizza into fractions at dinner time.

Invent your own pizza. Think about the toppings you would put on it and
what your pizza would be named.

Read a book about pizzas such as ‘Pizza for Pirates’ by Adam Guillain or
‘Secret Pizza Party’ by Adam Rubin.

Dance along to ‘All I eat is pizza’ on Youtube. Learn the actions that the
dancers do or make up your own.

Fine-motor pizzas. Use the play dough you made for your craft activity to
pinch mini pizza bases round and round into a circle. Have a go at shaping
your own play dough pizza toppings too. A pepperoni slice will be a lot easier
to make than a mushroom!

Discover how the margarita pizza was named.

Find out how big the world’s largest pizza was! Who made it, how wide was it
and how much did it weigh? It’s a big one, crust us.
