A virtual scavenger hunt is a great way to connect safely with family and friends or for children to stay in touch with their friends. It is also an excellent team-building activity and can be a fun way to begin or end an online meeting.

Send Out Invites

Send out your invitations with the time and program for everyone to connect. Include a link to the software in case anyone needs to install it ahead of time. Everyone should have a sheet of paper marked with an “X”.

Nominate a Moderator

Your moderator cannot share their screen with others and must print out the list of scavenger items. Make sure the list has items you will commonly find at home.

Start the Hunt

Before you begin the hunt, make sure everyone can hear and see everyone else. The moderator says the item to find and everyone has one minute to fetch it. Players cannot look up items on their device, or use the same item twice. If someone knows they don’t have that item, they display the paper with the “X” on the screen. The adult or child who gathers the most items wins.

Virtual Prizes

It is fun to include a virtual prize such as an eGift card or another treat with home delivery.

If you are dreading Halloween this year and all the sugar consumed, remember it’s okay to indulge in treats, but just practice moderation. We’ve listed a few easy tips to have a more nutritious and healthier Halloween.

Buy Halloween Treats on the Day

Avoid temptation and purchase Halloween treats on the day. Don’t buy too much or purchase sweets you don’t like. Alternatively, you can buy other treats that aren’t edible such as bouncy balls, erasers, pencils or stickers.

Eat before Trick-Or-Treating

If your kids are going out trick-or-treating, gives them a healthy dinner before the fun begins, so they are less tempted to eat lots of sweets. When they come home, offer them a warming drink such as milk with just one or two of their favourite treats before bedtime.

Stay Active

One good thing about trick-or-treating is that you can take a nice long walk around your neighbourhood to admire all the decorations and costumes!

Practice Portion Control

Once Halloween is over, sort through the sweets with your child and agree with them how much they will eat over the next week. Remember, sweets can be frozen or cut into smaller pieces for better portion control.

A straighter smile looks attractive at any age and can be healthier too. One Smile provides the very latest orthodontic technologies suitable for adults and children. Younger children can benefit from a referral for early orthodontic treatment as soon as age 6.

We frequently use conventional fixed braces, which are highly effective for precisely repositioning teeth. However, adults and older teenagers are often concerned about wearing conventional fixed metal braces. One possible solution is to choose fixed braces with clear ceramic brackets, while Invisalign clear removable aligners can also produce excellent results.

Why Choose Invisalign?

Invisalign is exceptionally discreet because the clear plastic aligners fit tightly over your teeth, forming a thin skin that is virtually invisible. All you need do is to wear each set of aligners for two weeks, preferably only removing them when you brush and floss or when you have a meal. There is minimal disruption to everyday life!

Every two weeks the aligners are exchanged for a fresh set that will continue moving your teeth into positions predetermined by your treatment plan. In fact, one of the great things about Invisalign is that you can see images created during the planning phase showing how your teeth will look once treatment is completed.
