Have you ever dreamed of becoming a world record breaker when you grow up?

Well, you know… you don’t really have to wait.

You can become one now! 👊

Guinness World Records has a special category of records made just for you – ambitious and talented kids under 16. 🤩

They are super fun to do and just as official as the records that grown-ups break.

What better way to spend your summer vacation?

Check out some of the recently broken records below, then head to our Set a record page for more record titles you can attempt, and detailed information on how to apply.

Fastest time to match 20 emoji pairs 

You’ll need an amazing memory if you want to match every pair of emoji cards in record-breaking time!

8-year-old serial record breaker Ashwin Sudhan Palani Kumar managed to set the impressive time of 2 minutes and 14.85 seconds.

Ashwin already has multiple record titles under his belt, and keeps trying to set more in his free time…

Do you think you can beat his record? 👀

pancake record under 16

Most tosses of a pancake in one minute 

Don’t get confused – you don’t need to be a chef for this record… 🥞

Just a great pancake tosser!

This tasty record title currently belongs to Rishabh Mahesh from California, USA, who achieved the impressive score of 60 tosses.

That’s one toss per second

We challenge you to attempt this record; if you don’t succeed, you’ll get to at least enjoy some delicious pancakes. 😏

Fastest time to build a 30 level stackable wooden blocks tower by a team of two 

Team work makes the dream work!

That’s why sisters Ashmitha and Anithra Dhayalavel from Chennai, India, united their forces to achieve the impressive record of just 6 minutes and 21 seconds.

Keep in mind that, for this challenging record title, you’ll need patience, calm and, most importantly, a steady hand! ✌️

arrange books in alphabetical order record under 16

Fastest time to arrange 10 books in alphabetical order 

Do you want to be the world’s fastest librarian? 🤓

To do that, you will have to break Ashwin’s current record of 16.75 seconds.

And while you’re at it, check out these 6 books that will get you out of your reading slump… at least until the Guinness World Records 2024 book comes out (very soon)! 😉

paper aircraft record under 16

Most times to hit a target with a paper aircraft in three minutes 

This is perhaps our most popular kids’ record title so far… 

So many of you have tried to set a new record-breaking number! 

Recently, Jai Yadav from India set a new record by throwing 44 paper aircrafts into the target in three minutes.

That’s 11 more than the previous record, which – fun fact – belonged to serial record-breaker Ashwin!

It took Jai about 3 months to prepare for this attempt, constantly practising and experimenting with the different angles, to achieve the best possible result. 🔥
