Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 6 April 2025

Stereotypes can be harmful.

But this week you’re going to be basing your team names on them.

We want you to make up a stereotype. Dara O’Briain is full of ideas on this.

Malaysians are extremely clean

Peruvians are good at chess

Latvians are afraid of cats

Iraqis are obsessed with skiing

Senegalese people have no sense of personal space

Now look, you can be hurtful with this, but it will be a lot more fun for everyone involved if you’re not. We’re looking for stereotypes that aren’t harmful and aren’t remotely based in truth.

Have an interesting week.
