Active Participation: Fun Games and Challenges<\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is a fun challenge to get you outside and moving. Other variations, if you can\u2019t get outside, are also included (i.e from your window). Challenge yourself, or challenge a family member.<\/p>\n

Game Option #1 – with a partner<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Pick your team \u2013 Squirrels or Dogs?<\/li>\n
  2. Pick any exercise or movement you want – one for each team (e.g. squirrels = jumping jacks, dogs = toe touches)<\/li>\n
  3. Go for a walk, a bike ride, or watch from your window.<\/li>\n
  4. Set yourself a time limit, a route, or a specific number of sightings (e.g. 10)<\/li>\n
  5. Record how many of each animal you saw after a specific time, or when you finished your route, or if you reached 10 animal sightings.<\/li>\n
  6. For every animal you saw, you must complete 10 repetitions (or whatever number you have pre-determined) of the opposite team\u2019s exercise!
    \nFor instance, if I am on the dog team and I saw 5 dogs, and my partner is on the squirrel team and saw 6 squirrels, then my partner would have to do 5 x 10 repetitions = 50 toe touches, and I would have to do 6 x 10 repetitions = 60 jumping jacks, if those were the exercises pre-chosen).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Game Option #2 – on your own<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Basically, you have the same rules as the partner game, but you will need to record the number of squirrels and dogs that you see.<\/li>\n
    2. Decide on two different exercises to be done, one type for each animal.<\/li>\n
    3. Set your time limit, route, or number of sightings.<\/li>\n
    4. The animal with the most sightings wins, and you will have to do that many repetitions of your pre-chosen exercise.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Other variations:<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Choose different animals for your sightings, or bicycles vs. walkers, or cars vs. trucks instead.<\/li>\n
      • If you are in your house, make it like an \u201ceye spy game\u201d through a window (e.g., Each person chooses a colour and then looks for different coloured objects and records how many they can find. If I see 8 blue objects, and you find 7 yellow objects, that is how many repetitions of an exercise we do.)<\/li>\n
      • Make up your own rules or game. Have fun and keep moving!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
