One piece is added each day as group members meet their nutrition and physical activity goals. By the end of the Sip & Skip Challenge participants will have one or more full skeletons to celebrate their success. Using Your Group Skeleton(s) Choose the length of your Sip & Skip challenge. The challenge can be done for 14 consecutive days (including weekends) or over 15 weekdays (3 weeks excluding weekends). Pilot testing revealed that some program leaders preferred the 15 day duration in order to keep participants' Personal Record Keepers at school to prevent loss or misplacement of booklets. Choose the option that will work best for your group. Determine the number of skeletons your group will assemble during the Sip & Skip Challenge (i.e. one large group skeleton, one for boys, one for girls, smaller teams of 3-4, etc). One section of the skeleton is earned by the group(s) each day of the challenge. If more than one group skeleton is being assembled, all groups earn the same section each day.when introducing this challenge, let participants know that 95% of the group must meet both nutrition and physical activity goals in order to earn a section of the skeleton. Have participants calculate what constitutes 95% of your group (e.g. 95% = 9 out of 10 participants, 14 out of 15 participants, 19 out of 20 participants, 23 out of 25 participants, 28 out of 30 participants). As a group, decide what your group will do if this goal is not met. Here are some options if the 95% target is not met: Have all the participants, in the group that missed their goal, make up the missing points the following day. (i.e. do 1-2 extra jumping sessions or make 1-2 extra calcium food choices the next day). Participants will need to draw extra check boxes on their sheet. Example: Your group decided to divide into boys vs girls. The boys did not get enough calcium. They must have 1-2 extra calcium choices the following day. Extend the challenge by the number of missed days. You will need to make more copies of the record sheets in the personal record keeper. What if one or more of the participants are away sick? The group(s) will not be penalized because of missing participants. Each section of the skeleton is earned by the group members that are present. As long as 95% of those present meet their goals they will earn their skeleton section. (15) How to Assemble Your Group Skeleton(s) 1. The length of your Sip and Skip challenge determines the number of pieces you will assemble: 15 days: If the program is run for 15 weekdays, use all the pieces included in the Group Skeleton, including the Sip & Skip logo. 14 days: If the program is run for 14 days, do not use the Skip & Skip logo in the pieces the group earns (you may wish to use it as decoration or an identifier). 2. Determine the number of skeletons your group will assemble during the Sip & Skip challenge (i.e. one large group skeleton, one for boys, one for girls, smaller teams of 3-4, etc.), then copy the appropriate number using the master sheets (6 double-sided sheets). Be sure to photocopy both sides of each sheet as there is information on the back. You will need this to identify pieces later on. 3. Select a spot on a wall or door to build the skeleton(s). 4. Cut out all of the pieces along the grey outline. The skeleton is divided into 15 sections. Each section is numbered and labelled on the front and back. Omit Piece 1 (Sip & Skip logo) if you are doing the 14 day challenge. 5. Decide who will assemble your skeleton(s). e.g. teacher, group leader, student. 6. Assemble the skeleton(s) in the following order: 1) Sip and Skip logo (Note: do not use in 14 day challenge) 2) Head 3) Rib Cage 4) Spine 5) Pelvis 6) Upper Leg (on your left) 7) Upper Leg (on your right) 8) Lower Leg (on your left) 9) Lower Leg (on your right) 10) Upper Arm (on your left) 11) Upper Arm (on your right) 12) Lower Arm (on your left) 13) Lower Arm (on your right) 14) Hand (on your left) 15) Hand (on your right)
