Scales Are for Fishes!
Objectives:
- To help participants identify the positive
things about their physical appearance and the aspects of themselves that
they like most. - To assist in realizing that a person is more
than size and shape and that healthy is not necessarily dictated by a
number on a scale. - To allow creative expression in order to
showcase the campaign messaging.
Supplies Needed:
- Scales for participants to decorate
(participants can bring their own scale too) - Space to decorate
- Crafts, glue, paint, etc. to decorate the
scales - Space to display entries (likely Children’s
Hospital) - Prize for winners (‘Perfect is Boring!’
t-shirt) - Any event-related handouts or giveaways
explaining how scales can be negative - Wristbands to give out
- Anything else you can think of!
Set Up and Implementation:
- Work with participants prior to the event to
educate them on the campaign. - Assign them with guidelines.
- Take pictures of the entries and display them
on the website for people to vote - Encourage viewers to vote for their favorite
and award the winning submission. - Explain PEDAW, the wristbands, and what it’s
all about. - Be creative with how you want to implement
this! - Take pictures of event and send to Amy to post
on up on PEDAW blog!
