This year at Texas 4-H Roundup, youth will have the opportunity to participate in the 4-H Healthy Lifestyles Invitational. This contest will take place on Thursday, June 10th, beginning at 9:30 am. Intermediate and Senior 4-H members are invited to compete in the invitational, which does NOT require them to pre-qualify in a county or district contest. The contest is a team event, with teams made up of three to four 4-H members of the same age division.
With a set-up similar to the 4-H Consumer Decision Making Contest, the 4-H Healthy Lifestyles Invitational will consist of two parts:
1. Judging - Each participant will judge/place eight classes, individually ranking the four options provided based upon the given situation. The eight classes will provide a situation on various healthy lifestyles topics, with class topics being:
Nutritious Snacks/Meals
Physical Activity
Tobacco
Emergency Preparedness/First Aid
Food Safety
Nutritious Beverage Choices
Pre-Game Meals
Altering Recipes
2. Public Speaking (Seniors only) - Each senior team will have 30 minutes to prepare a presentation on the healthy lifestyles topic addressed in one of the classes. The class topic to be addressed in the presentation will be designated by contest officials and announced during the participant orientation.
Written Reasons (Intermediates only) - Each intermediate team will have 30 minutes to provide written reasons for one class, designated by contest officials. A written reasons worksheet is available in the healthy lifestyles invitational packet.
