Challenge 32: Plan a Healthy Picnic
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. After a relaxing lunch, why not explore the area with a brisk walk? Or include everyone in a fun game of tag! 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.’

Challenge 31: Get Hopping!
There’s nothing to get you moving like a good, old-fashioned game of hopscotch! Grab some chalk, find a sidewalk and a stone and you’re in business. Create a grid from one to ten. Toss your stone onto the number one and then hop over it. On one foot, hop up the grid and back again. Repeat for each number, but if you don’t get your stone on the right square, or you lose your balance, you go back to square one – literally!
