WiseUp’s Time Attack is a powerful, high-energy team building experience designed to develop essential life skills in a fun, structured, and inclusive way. Through a variety of physical and mental challenges, students must work together to solve problems, strategise, and beat the clock—encouraging:
Effective communication and active listening
Collaboration and cooperative problem-solving
Leadership and delegation within group dynamics
Confidence building through shared success
Resilience and perseverance in the face of challenge
Ideal for building positive relationships and boosting group morale, Time Attack encourages students to recognise the value of every team member’s contribution. The event is tailored to promote respect, trust, and mutual support, making it perfect for transition days, new class bonding, or rebuilding connections after periods of disengagement.
By placing students in high-energy, team-focused scenarios, Time Attack brings team building to life—helping young people develop the personal, social, and emotional skills they need to thrive both in and beyond the classroom.
WiseUp’s Time Attack event is perfectly aligned with the aims of the KS3 Physical Education curriculum, offering students a dynamic and inclusive environment to develop physical, social, and mental skills through structured, high-energy activity.
Throughout the event, students engage in a variety of timed physical challenges that encourage:
Developing competence in a broad range of physical activities
Improving coordination, agility, and fitness
Enhancing teamwork, leadership, and collaborative strategy
Demonstrating resilience, fair play, and respect for others
Applying tactics, techniques, and rules to improve performance
Time Attack also promotes healthy competition and personal achievement, giving every student the chance to take part, contribute, and shine—regardless of ability. The structure of the challenge encourages students to set goals, stay active, and reflect on their performance, aligning with the curriculum’s emphasis on analysing and improving both individual and team outcomes.
By linking physical activity with problem-solving and team-based tasks, Time Attack creates an engaging and supportive platform that fosters both physical literacy and the key life skills promoted by the PE curriculum.
WiseUp’s Time Attack team building event provides an engaging, real-world context for developing key skills outlined in the KS3 English curriculum, particularly within the spoken language strand. As students work in teams to complete a variety of fast-paced physical and mental challenges, they are required to:
Use clear and effective spoken communication
Listen and respond appropriately to others in group discussions
Adapt their language for different audiences and purposes
Use spoken Standard English in formal and informal contexts
Build confidence in presenting, questioning, and articulating ideas
By linking physical challenges with verbal reasoning and teamwork, Time Attack offers a dynamic and memorable way to reinforce key English curriculum outcomes, while also supporting personal development in areas like confidence, resilience, and collaboration.
WiseUp’s Time Attack challenge is more than just a high-energy team event—it’s a powerful way to apply key KS3 Maths curriculum skills in a fun, real-world setting. As students race against the clock in a variety of physical and mental tasks, they actively engage with core mathematical concepts such as:
Problem-solving and logical reasoning
Estimating, measuring, and comparing distances or times
Interpreting data and using basic statistical understanding
Applying number operations in real-time scenarios
Using ratios, proportions, and sequencing in strategy-based challenges
The fast-paced nature of Time Attack encourages students to think critically under pressure, make quick yet calculated decisions, and work collaboratively to solve maths-based problems. These skills align with the KS3 maths focus on fluency, reasoning, and applying mathematics in practical contexts.
By embedding maths into engaging challenges, Time Attack provides an exciting opportunity for students to see how mathematical thinking is relevant beyond the classroom—boosting both confidence and numeracy skills in a memorable, hands-on way.
