                                          Figure 1 depicts the VERB Summer Scorecard, which is designed like a monthly calendar, with the month of July represented. Several days of the month have information printed within the box. This information corresponds to community activities through which tweens can participate in physical activity (eg, “3-5 free swim, all public pools”). Two thinner boxes appear on either side of the calendar, in “bookend” form. The box on the left side of the calendar contains general information about the VERB program and depicts a group of smiling children. The box on the right side of the calendar depicts a checkerboard pattern, accompanied by text that encourages children to complete more than just the middle scorecard and to have their parents initial the checkerboard boxes every time the children do more physical activity.
