Passes in all shapes & sizes

Pass It On is all about fun and teamwork, but there’s no doubt we have associates out there with more than a little footballing skill too. Just to prove it, we received this message from Carlos Buenfil in Mexico City.

Hi, Fernando Fandino is one of our associates. He’s a planner at Walmart in Mexico City. He sent us this video. It was recorded on a mobile phone so its quality is not the best. But he is good playing soccer. Hope this video could work for you!

Honduras, Honduras, Honduras!!!

We’ve had some wonderful videos since we launched our attempt to build a worldwide chain of Walmart passes just two weeks ago, but this one from Honduras must rank among the very best. Thanks a million to all those who took part and put it together and to Veronica Araujo for sending it to us.

'Pass It On' reaches Brazil

Brazil is the most successful nation in the history of the World Cup – so it’s great that Walmart associates there have been quick to take up the challenge and send in their first Pass It On videos.

Take a look at the Brazilian clips – and “pass it on” by filming your own.

Internal engagement with the World Cup in Brazil has been boosted by this soccer-themed associate magazine.

Check out the kick-off videos and send in your own passes


The World Cup is one of those rare events that brings together people from all over the world to share a common passion – and this is what’s inspired us to attempt to create the world’s longest chain of pass-the-ball video clips.

We’re looking for associates across all our operations to join in and contribute a pass. Between now and the World Cup Final on July 11 we’ll link them together in a Pass It On chain that crosses borders, oceans and continents.

Check out our kick-off video below for some inspiration, then film your own short clip and upload it here.

Don’t worry if you’ve never kicked a football – or a soccer ball – in your life. We’re not looking for skillful technique, just be sure the ball enters and completely leaves the screen in your clip so we can link your pass to everyone else’s.

Be fun, be creative. In fact, the more unusual and inventive your pass is the better.
