Enter your class into the Back-to-School Competition in DoodleMaths, DoodleTables, DoodleEnglish and DoodleSpell for your chance to win a bundle of educational goodies worth £75!

By taking part, your pupils will be incentivised to complete their 10 minutes of daily Doodling. It's a great way to get your students back into the habit of Doodling regularly and to be in with a chance of winning a some exciting prizes!

Encourage every pupil in your class to be working in the green zone (by achieving their target number of stars) for 14 consecutive days from Friday 20th September to midnight on Thursday 3rd October.

The class with the highest % of children in the green zone for each programme will win! In the event of multiple classes achieving 100% of pupils on target, we’ll select one class at random to be the winner for that subject. The winning class from each competition will win a £75 box of games!

We're running four competitions: one for DoodleMaths, DoodleEnglish, DoodleTables and DoodleSpell.

Students will also be able to earn an in-app badge for reaching their target - it will automatically unlock if they are in the green zone on both the 26th September and the 3rd October.

During the Challenge

  • Visit the Teacher Dashboard to view the percentage of students in your class in the green zone. You can view this by class by looking in the Top Doodlers section of the Teacher Dashboard:

And, you can view which students in your class are working in their green zone by visiting Work programmes > View effort

For more information, please see our terms and conditions here.

Good luck and happy Doodling! 🎉


Please note:

  • You will need a premium Doodle subscription in that subject to take part

  • A class needs to have a minimum of 10 students in it to register

  • We recommend not starting any new baseline assessments during the competition, as this will prevent your pupils from collecting their stars before they complete the assessment.
