Challenge 19: Create a Game!

       Create an active game you can play with a younger sibling! Think you can entertain your little sister or brother? This is a great way to find out! Try creating an obstacle course, or a bunch of Olympic-type events! See how long you can both stay active.
Dr. Quack’s Notes
RE: BOOGER Hmmm… I notice that Goober has called to set up an appointment tomorrow for his little brother, Booger. Goober states that Booger is feeling tired and lethargic. I wonder what it could be. Note to self: Be sure to ask Booger about his diet -         How many fruits and vegetables a day? -         How much added sugar? -         How much fat? Be sure to ask Booger about his physical activity -         How much physical activity a day? -         How many days a week does he get intense physical activity? Be sure to ask Booger about his personal habits -         How many hours sleep a night? -         How much time does he spend outdoors? -         When does he brush his teeth? -         Does he practice good personal hygiene? -         Does he limit his time watching TV and using electronic devices? Well, I’m sure Booger already knows all about the importance of taking care of oneself so I hope it’s nothing serious.
