In
February 2010, First Lady Michelle Obama launched Let’s Move!, an initiative
that encouraged kids all over the country to get out, get active, and create a
healthier future for themselves and their families. To celebrate the fifth
anniversary of Let’s Move! this month, the White House has kicked things up a
notch with the #GimmieFive challenge.
To
join in the fun, just share five ways you’re leading a healthier life and
challenge your friends and family to do the same by posting photos or videos
with #GimmeFive on Twitter,
Instagram, Vine, Facebook, or Tumblr. Looking for inspiration? Here are five
ways you might get active—outdoors!—as a Girl Scout.
- Do a “detective hike” and investigate leaves or tracks along the trail as part of the Brownie Hiker badge.
- Play a nighttime game of flashlight tag while earning the Junior Camper badge.
- Take part in a wacky relay race as part of the Cadette Field Day badge.
- Explore a farm or orchard along the Senior Sow What? Journey.
- Go snorkeling, surfing, or tubing as part of the Ambassador Water badge.
