1-on-1 Tracking
1-on-1 Tracking
All Big Sibs are required to track any 1-on-1 events that they complete with their Little Sib. Any activity that helps to build your connection with your Little Sib is considered a 1-on-1, we've copied a few examples below:
In-person, socially distanced outings: Going on a walk, playing basketball in the park, cooking/baking together
Virtual Connections: Zoom/Facetime calls, virtual cooking competition, Netflix watch party, video gameplay
Please feel free to lump all virtual connections (texts, phone calls, video calls, etc.) that occur across the month together in a single submission
School Events: sports games, science fairs, plays/concerts
Big Sibs are asked to log their 1-on-1 activities using the form below. Make sure to submit your 1-on-1 activities before the last day of the month .
