Script

Gray lines describe what happens on screen. The bold lines are what Drip says.

  1. Drip in a sweatband doing jumping jacks.

    Final mission! Everybody up. Let's move!

  2. Kids running, playing soccer, dancing. Little sweat drops fly off.

    When you play hard, your body cools down by sweating. And sweat is made of water!

  3. A thermometer climbs on a sunny day; Drip fans himself.

    On hot days and during sports, you lose even more water. So you need extra water breaks.

  4. A coach blows a whistle; everyone sips from bottles.

    Drink before you play, take sips during, and refill after.

  5. Sugar Sneak shows up holding a bright sports drink. Drip shakes his head.

    Sugar Sneak says you need a sugary sports drink. Nope! For kids playing and having fun, water does the job.

  6. Movement break, on screen with Drip.

    10 jumping jacks! 5 frog hops! 1 big superhero pose! Now... water break!

  7. All six badges light up; confetti; Sugar Sneak runs off for good.

    You did it! All six missions. You're officially on the Drip Squad!

  8. End card

    Squad complete! Mission Check 6, then grab your certificate. Sip, sip, hooray!
