Challenge 33: Play “Guess the Fruit”
Here’s a fun game you can play with your friends and the best part is cleaning up when you’re done – you get to eat the game pieces! Fill a basket with different types of fruit and cover it up with a cloth so the players can’t see inside. The more similar the fruits, the harder the game – it’s a lot harder to tell the difference between a grapefruit and an orange than between a pineapple and a grape! Put a blindfold on one of your friends. Take a piece of fruit from the basket, hand it to them and see if they can guess the fruit. If they guess correctly, they get to keep going. Guess wrong and it’s someone else’s turn. This is a neat way to introduce new fruits into your diet!

Here’s a great way to incorporate healthy foods into your diet and and get exercise and fresh air while you’re at it! Why not plan a picnic? Start with pretty homemade invitations. Decorate them with flowers and butterflies in keeping with your outdoor theme. And don’t forget to include a map to the picnic site! For your menu, prepare healthy choices like fresh fruit, salad, raw vegetables and sandwiches on whole wheat bread. Bring big bottles of water and cups so you can share them.

It’s the perfect way to encourage healthy eating and exercise, while enjoying some downtime with family and friends!
More fun Pelican facts!
Hey, it’s me again. You know what else is cool about Pelicans? Pelicans can be found in lots of different parts of the world but always by water. We are great swimmers – we have webbed toes like a duck. And like most birds we have a preen gland which secretes oil. We rub our heads on our preen gland to release the oil and then we use our head and beak to spread the oil across our bodies. This makes our feathers waterproof. Have you ever heard the saying ‘Like water off a duck’s back’? Well, personally, I think it should be ‘Like water off a PELICAN’s back.’
