Have you ever wondered if you could break a world record? The Guinness World Records Kids website has so many fun things you can try at home! These records are easy to attempt and you can do them with stuff in the kitchen, bedroom, backyard or more! If you think you might have broken a record, you can even formally apply by submitting your evidence for the records team to review. Doesn’t that sound fun and amazing?

There are some truly wacky records, too. Some highlights include:

• Fastest time to assemble Mr. Potato Head
• Fastest time to arrange the alphabet from a can of alphabet soup
• Most socks put on one foot in 30 seconds

If you could break a record, which one would you attempt? Leave us a comment below!
