Mannequin Challenge

Hey kiddo, have you ever heard about the mannequin challenge? It's a game where you try to be as still as a mannequin or a doll.

Imagine you and your friends are playing freeze dance, where you have to stop dancing as soon as the music stops. The mannequin challenge is similar to that, but instead of dancing, you have to freeze in a specific pose and not move at all, just like a mannequin.

It started as a fun activity on social media where people would record videos of themselves and their friends freezing in different poses, and then share it with others. The challenge became popular because it's fun to see how creative people can get with their poses and how still they can remain.

Nowadays, people use this challenge for different purposes. For example, some people use it to raise awareness about a particular cause or to promote their business.

So that's about it, kiddo. The mannequin challenge is like a game of freeze where you try to be as still as a mannequin. It's a fun activity that people do to show off their creativity and have some fun with their friends.
