Game On: Skills for Life

Just as athletes develop skills through practice and teamwork, 4-H members build life skills through hands-on learning, leadership opportunities, service projects, and personal growth. Show how you are preparing for success in the game of life through your self-portrait.

Outstanding entries may receive special recognition in the following areas:

• Best Overall Self-Portrait
• Best Use of Theme
• Most Creative Design
• Best Personal Expression
• Future Leader Award

Entries may be evaluated based on:

• Creativity and Orginality
• Representation of the Theme
• Personal Expression
• Visual Appeal
• Effort and Craftsmanship

The Game On Self-Portrait Challenge encourages members to reflect on who they are, what they value, and the goals they hope to achieve. Through this activity, youth can explore self-awareness, goal setting, creativity, and personal growth while celebrating the unique qualities that make them who they are.

• Create your self-portrait on a standard 8½" × 11" sheet of paper.
• Entries may be hand-drawn, colored, painted, or created digitally.
• Include elements that represent your interests, strengths, goals, personality, and the life skills you are developing through 4-H.
• Be creative and make your self-portrait uniquely you.
• Include your name, grade, and school/club on the back of the entry.
