CHALLENGE #1: “Highland Games” (10 points)

In the spirit of the Highland Games, we are going to be using weights for our workout!
In order to earn your 10 points, each video must be done 5 times, for a total of 10 workouts. You can do one video 5 times in one day, or spread them out over the course of the week.

CHALLENGE # 2: “Everybody Dance Now!” (10 points)

Highland Dancing:

Highland Dancing is done by both men and women, solo and in groups for the country dance. The videos below illustrate the basic steps of the Highland Fling, a dance said to symbolize a victory. Competitions at the Highland Games range from Primary to Premier. We will start with Primary.
To earn your 10 points, you need to do (or ATTEMPT to do) each video at least THREE TIMES.

CHALLENGE #3: “Tayberries or Tatties” (5 points)
Let’s turn to the National Fruit of Scotland: the Raspberry. Although Scotland is known for its Tayberries (a combo of raspberries and blackberries), raspberries are much more easily available for those of us not living in Scotland.

For your 5 point challenge, we want you to use raspberries in a NUTRITIONAL DISH (no pies & tarts!) AND post your recipe (or just a brief summary of how you ate your raspberries) on your team thread.
To help you out, here’s a link to some raspberry recipes: http://www.driscolls.com/recipes/raspberry-recipes?page=2
(Please scroll past the pies and tarts and concentrate on nutritional uses such as smoothies). Or, you just may prefer to eat your raspberries plain, as a snack. That’s fine, and more power to you!

If you are allergic to raspberries, or they are not available in your area, we offer an alternate choice of turnips (or “tatties”, as they are called in Scotland).
