The Quick Click challenge is a fun interactive activity that demonstrates just how easy and quick it is to buckle up your seat belt every time, every drive.

You will need a team of 1, 2, or 4 students to do the challenge and a team of at least 2 that can be the Quick-Click Crew. The Crew will be in charge of the stopwatch, checking that all the students have been buckled and hands in the air, and for blowing the whistle each time the students need to rotate.

Lastly, you will need a parked vehicle with four doors in the parking lot. The vehicle must be parked and keys NOT in the ignition to complete this activity.

Complete:

Teams will start behind the designated starting line, usually 5-10 ft. away from the car. (all vehicle doors must remain open at all times and keys should be removed from the vehicle)
On the first whistle blow, the team will run to and enter the vehicle, buckling up in one of the four seat positions. The Quick-Click Crew will start the stopwatch at the whistle blow. (positions= driver, passenger, rear driver, rear passenger)
When each seat belt is buckled, team members are to raise both hands into the air. When all seat belts are buckled and hands in plain view, the Quick-Click Crew will blow the whistle to signal team members to unbuckle and rotate to the next seat.
Member must exit the vehicle after each position. Team members advance around the car until they have buckled up in all four positions, raising both hands each time, and being signaled y the whistle. (Sliding across seats or across the hood is not permitted and will result in a DQ.)
The clock is stopped when all team members buckle their seat belts in the fourth rotation and raise their hands.

Submit Points:

Try to be the fastest and safest team in the Quick Click Challenge! Have your team take a pic inside the vehicle buckled up and holding up your hands! In the activity description, let us know how your team did and your finished time. Remember the vehicle must be parked and turned off, no activities will be accepted with a moving or operating vehicle. This activity can be completed 10 times per school year.
