We used this as an activity in our April Challenge 2023. The challenger had to give someone different a compliment each day for 21 days and they were awarded a point. The points go to a live leaderboard where the winning team gets a T-shirt as a prize. Check out our latest challenge by clicking on the challenge tab.
