Raksha Bandhan is a special occasion that celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. Beyond the traditional rituals of tying a rakhi and exchanging gifts, why not make this Raksha Bandhan extra memorable with some playful sibling challenges? Here are five fun challenges to try out with your sibling to add some excitement and laughter to your celebration.
The painting challenge
Grab some paint brushes and get painting with your sibling this Raksha Bandhan. The rules are simple, the one with the best painting wins! To make things even more interesting, do a little bit of prep beforehand. All you need to do is grab some post-it notes and write a random object on it. Then, fold the notes and put them in a jar. Now, you and your sibling will have to take out these random chits and paint what's mentioned on them.
The blindfold challenge
This challenge is sure to bring out the daredevil in you. We all loved playing truth and dare as children and one of the most common challenge was to eat a spoonful of instant coffee mix. Trying out weird dishes has been a fond memory that many of us share with our siblings. This Raksha Bandhan, try and relive those memories with an added layer of mystery.
For this challenge, you can take turns being blindfolded while the other sibling feeds you different foods. The challenge is to guess what you’re eating without seeing it. This can lead to hilarious moments, especially if you include a mix of sweet, savory, and unusual items!
The knowledge test
How well do you and your sibling know each other? This challenge is all about testing that bond. Write down a list of questions like "What's my favorite color?" or "What food do I hate the most?" without sharing them with each other beforehand. Then, take turns guessing each other's answers. For every correct guess, you score a point. This is a great way to see how much you truly know about each other and strengthen your connection.
Snack race
This challenge is perfect for the foodies out there. Choose a simple snack or dish that both of you can make, like sandwiches or fruit salads. Set a timer and race to see who can make the most creative or delicious version of the snack in a limited time. The winner could be decided based on taste, presentation, or a combination of both. It’s a fun way to add some friendly competition to the day while satisfying your taste buds.
Whisper challenge
In this game, one sibling wears headphones with music playing loudly while the other says a phrase. The person with the headphones has to guess what was said by reading lips. It’s a hilarious challenge because the guesses can be wildly off, leading to lots of laughter.
