Recite the Camp DIY pledge

What can we use if we don't have the Camp DIY pledge paper or a mirror?

If you don't have the Camp DIY pledge paper, write or type the pledge on plain paper or a tablet, and if you don't have a mirror for the 'Practice saying the whole pledge from memory while looking in a mirror' step, use a window reflection or the front-facing camera on a phone.

I'm getting stuck remembering lines—what should I do?

If you get stuck remembering lines during the 'Repeat the first short line three times...' and later repetition steps, point to each phrase with your finger, write one-word cue notes next to each short line, and say each line quietly several extra times before trying the whole pledge.

How can we adapt this activity for a preschooler or a tween?

For preschoolers, reduce the pledge to one or two short lines and use big printed words or picture cues while following the 'Use your finger to point to each short phrase' step, and for tweens, keep all lines, time their recitation, and add projection practice from the 'imagining you are talking to someone at the back of a room' step.

How can my child personalize or extend the activity beyond sharing on DIY.org?

To personalize the pledge before performing for a friend or family member and 'Share your finished performance on DIY.org,' let your child decorate the pledge paper, invent a signature gesture for each line, and record a short video with clear audio to upload or review.
