Mannequin Challenge Goes World Wide

By: Abigail

You may have heard of the Mannequin Challenge. Well if you haven’t it’s a worldwide thing where you get into a pose and hold it for as long as you can while someone comes around and films you, Usually if you see a video of people doing the Mannequin Challenge you hear the song Black Beatles but people also use other songs.

The Mannequin Challenge was started by a group of teenagers in Jacksonville, Florida. The group of teenagers thought it would be fun to stay really still like mannequins and make videos to post on social media.  People all over the world are doing it, even celebrities.

You may have seen schools doing it as well, but one school Glenridge Elementary, did it a little different. What they did was they have been reading Non-Fiction books and by what book they were reading they they got into groups and acted out a scene while a teacher came and filmed them. The students thought it was a fun experience. Here are a few other kids thoughts “It was fun but I wish we could choose what poses we wanted to do” Anna and Josie agreed. “I wish it was longer because it felt so short and it was so fun” says Amanda.

You might be wondering why people are doing the Mannequin Challenge. Well as I said people all over the world a doing it. Famous people are doing it, then other people try it, and the more people do it  the more people try it.
