INTRODUCTIONWelcome to High 5Thank you for helping your students achieve leadership greatness through the FBLA-Middle Level High 5 program! High 5 takes students on a leadership journey through fi ve activities in fi ve leadership areas, designed to strengthen professional skills like communication, networking, research, and creativity.

About the Adviser GuideThis guide is designed to help advisers lead FBLA-Middle Level members through the High 5 program.

For easy reference, this guide contains the exact student activities materials which start on page 12 of this guide and page 6 in the student journal.

High 5 is intended to be incorporated into the classroom curriculum. Each page of the Adviser Guide features tips for how to start a conversation with your students during each activity, as well as a list of downloadable teaching resources.

Of course, High 5 is not just for the classroom. You can also incorporate this material into your chapter meetings or use it to help members through the activities individually.

About the Skills DevelopedThe conclusion of each activity features a list of skills members will develop upon completion. There are 20 total skills.

See next page for a Skills Summary grid.

Tracking Members’ ProgressWhen a member begins an activity, initial next to the “Started” line in the “Activate” box to the left of the activity. Each time a member completes an activity, initial next to the “Finished” line. This helps members keep track of activities.

To help you track multiple members’ progress, download the tracking spreadsheet from the High 5 page on the FBLA-PBL website.

HOW TO USE THE MAPSome students are visual learners, and the best way for visual learners to track their progress in the High 5 program is through the High 5 Map. After a member completes a Leadership Activity, they check the box beside the corresponding icon on this High 5 Map. You can make the Map even more fun by giving students stickers to place over the box when they complete the corresponding activity!

RECOGNITION TIMEThe High 5 Map also provides an easy visual cue for you to know when a member has completed all fi ve Leadership Activities within a Leadership Area (Chapter, School, Business, Community and Career). When members complete all the activities in a Leadership Area, they qualify for recognition. Print the certifi cate associated with that Leadership Area and present it to the member during an FBLA meeting for easy and instant recognition.

ORDER OF ACTIVITIESThe Leadership Activities do not need to be completed in order. Members can complete the Leadership Activities at their own pace and choose to skip around in completing the activities. You can guide members on which Leadership Activity they should complete next. Just remember, the members don’t get recognition until they complete all the Leadership Activities within an Area, and you want to make sure they get recognition at regular intervals so they feel that their work in the High 5 program is worthwhile!

ADDITIONAL INCENTIVESProvide additional incentives for members to complete Leadership Activities by rewarding them after they have completed three Leadership Areas. The reward can be an ice cream party, t-shirt, conference attendance, or other recognition that will motivate them to keep moving forward with the High 5 program.

RECOGNITION FROM FBLA-PBL NATIONAL CENTERMembers who successfully complete all 25 High 5 leadership activities will receive a certifi cate of recognition from the FBLA-PBL National Center and be listed on the FBLA-Middle Level website as a National High 5 Leader. Certifi cates may be printed from the membership registration area.

TIPS AND TRICKS

8

Color Coding and IconsWe want to make guiding your Middle Level members through the High 5 program simple. So, we’ve developed a few visual tricks that help you track the different Leadership Areas and Leadership Activities.

First, each Leadership Area is color coded. For example, the Chapter Leadership Area and its associated Activities are designated by the color purple. The certifi cates of completion for each Leadership Area are also color coded. Because color coding provides a quick visual reference for you and your members, we recommend printing the Adviser Guide, Student Journal, and Certifi cates of Recognition in color.

Second, each Leadership Activity has a corresponding icon. These icons are used in the Adviser Guide Table of Contents, the High 5 Student PowerPoint, and the Student Journal and Map to identify a particular Leadership Activity.

Alternatives for Sharing Student WorkWhile websites like YouTube, SchoolTube, and DocStoc are recommended for sharing your members work in the High 5 program, we recognize that you may not be able to access these sites from school computers or may be limited by school regulations on how you share student work.

That’s okay. How and where you upload your members work in the High 5 program (or if you choose not to upload the work at all) is completely up to you.

What’s most important is students see their work is valued. If you choose not to upload their work, you can always hang it in your classroom, have members present it in your class or chapter meeting, or simply ask the student to share their work with another FBLA member.

Customize the ProgramHow you guide your members through the High 5 program is also up to you. Members do not have to complete the activities in order. Help members choose which activities to complete based on your classroom or chapter schedule and what works best for you.

You can also substitute and customize activities in the program to better meet the needs of your chapter and members.

Help Students Track Their ProgressEach Student Journal contains a map where students can track their completed activities. Encourage students to check off each Leadership Activity on the map as they complete it.

Students will also track their progress by using a signature box to the left of each activity. When a student starts to work on a Leadership Activity, initial next to “Started” in the “Activate” box by the Leadership Activity. When a student completes an activity, initial next to “Finished” in the same box.

ULTIMATE ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS ACTIVITYOBJECTIVE: To teach the importance of encouraging others to do their best.

SUPPLIES: None

INSTRUCTIONS: Have participants challenge each other to Rock, Paper, Scissors (rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, paper beats rock). The person who does not win their match moves behind the winner and cheers them on. The winner challenges another partner and whomever is defeated (along with anyone else who happens to be following and encouraging them) must also get behind the winner. When any two participants remain, the rest will be cheering their team to victory!

TALKING POINTS: What does it feel like to be encouraged to be successful? What does it feel like when you encourage others to be successful? How can we encourage one another to achieve our goals, like the ones we set for our involvement in FBLA (i.e., win competition, fundraise, etc.)?

FBLA-PBL PLEDGEI solemnly promise to uphold the aims and responsibilities of Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda and, as an active member, I shall strive to develop the qualities necessary in becoming a responsible business leader.

EMBLEM CEREMONYThe FBLA Emblem Ceremony reinforces FBLA’s mission and goals. Download the Emblem Ceremony PowerPoint from fbla-pbl.org/ceremony and have your students perform the ceremony using the PowerPoint as a visual aid during a chapter meeting.

ENGAGING TARGET MARKETSTo appeal to your target market, think like your target market. Here are some things your chapter can do to engage target markets:

-Prepare spirit bags for the cheerleaders or other school spirit group. Include candy, encouraging messages, and information on how they can benefi t from joining FBLA.

-Have members present the benefi ts of FBLA to the drama or chorus groups at your school through a skit or original song.

-If your students present to the PTA or other parent group, emphasize how FBLA helps members succeed in their business classes, get more involved in their school and community, and win scholarships when they apply for college in a few years.

WHAT KIND OF LEADERS ARE YOUR MEMBERS?Have your members complete the L.E.A.P. leadership assessment in the High 5 Student PowerPoint. Debrief by saying it takes all four kinds of leaders to run a successful FBLA chapter. You can even connect it to Leadership Activity #3 by asking students to identify leadership styles of their school leaders, then create a presentation that appeals to someone with those leadership traits.

RECOGNITION PROGRAMThe School Leadership Challenge is an excellent opportunity to partner with other organizations or groups at your school, and to recognize students for their school involvement.

If your school doesn’t offer a recognition ceremony for students involved in school organizations, partner with the other organizations and create one! You can have an after school ceremony, invite parents, and recognize students for their involvement.

If you want to give out awards for involvement in FBLA, you can give out awards like “Top Recruiter,” “FBLA Community Service Award,” “Top Fundraiser” and “Competitive Event Participant.”

TEACHER APPRECIATION DAYMembers can give back by hosting a Teacher Appreciation Day. Create gift bags for teachers and distribute them to complete fi ve school service hours. Make sure Teacher Appreciation Day is announced to the whole school so other groups can participate, too!

GUEST SPEAKERInvite a local business professional to speak to your class or chapter about his or her company and their role. Or you could invite multiple businesspeople to a chapter meeting and host a mini career fair!

FIELD TRIPYour local Chamber of Commerce can be a great resource for learning about why your town is a great place for business. Take members on a fi eld trip to the Chamber or invite a representative from the Chamber to your school so members can learn how your town promotes itself to businesses.

IMPORTANCE OF SOURCESRemind members to use good sources when fi nding information about the leaders. There is a lot of information on the Internet and not all of it is true. Ask members to list websites, books, or magazines they used to research their list of leaders. This teaches members the importance of using good sources and prepares them for using valid source citations required in high school, college and business.

COMPETITIVE EVENTSIf multiple students from your school are interested in competing in the same event, host a school-level competition where the students can go head-to-head and see who earns the right to proceed to the region or state competition.

FAVORITE ADGet students thinking about what kind of products or services sell by having them share their favorite advertisement and why they like it. You can also show students images of popular logos and ask them to name the brand associated with each logo. This reinforces the importance of building a brand that sells.

UPLOAD ALTERNATIVESRemember, where your members share their work is up to you. If your school doesn’t allow you to post student work online, you can simply display their reports in your classroom or have the members present their report in class or in a chapter meeting.

MARCH OF DIMESThe March of Dimes has been FBLA-PBL’s offi cial service partner for more than 40 years. It was founded by President Franklin Roosevelt to fi ght polio, and funded research for the vaccine that eradicated polio in the United States.

After the polio epidemic ended, the March of Dimes changed its mission to preventing premature birth and birth defects. Its research breakthroughs have helped save millions of babies.

Your chapter can partner with the March of Dimes to help save babies too! Visit fbla-pbl.org to fi nd out how your chapter can help.

MEETING NEEDS IN YOUR COMMUNITYHost a guest from the March of Dimes, American Cancer Society, your local Food Pantry, or another service organization to speak to students on importance of giving back to the community. Encourage students to think about the needs in their community and how these service organizations can meet those needs. They can even choose to focus on the awesome contributions one of these organizations is doing as their video topic for Activity #3!

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENTSince many civic, business, service, or government organizations meet outside of normal school hours, reach out to members’ parents and ask if they can accompany their child to one of these meetings. This is a great way to show parents all of the important things their children are learning through FBLA!

TACO TEAMSOBJECTIVE: Create small working groups using “ingredients” for tacos!

INSTRUCTIONS: First, determine how many students you want on each team (example: fi ve on team). Next, write a taco ingredient on name tags, notecard, etc. corresponding to the number of people you want on a team. (Example: for a team of fi ve, you’ll need fi ve ingredients like salsa, cheese, lettuce, beef, and the shell…one ingredient per notecard). Create enough sets of taco ingredient cards for each student in the room. Now, instruct students to create a “Taco Team” by fi nding students holding notecards with the ingredients for a taco! Challenge the students to circle up and shout “ARIBA!” once they have found all elements of their taco team. Use more ingredients to make larger teams; use less ingredients to make smaller teams.

FOLLOW UP STEPS: Once all the participants have found their Taco Teams, challenge them to share “get to know you” information (Examples: name, favorite color, favorite food, hero, favorite movie, etc.). Then launch into the High 5 Leadership Activity.

ACTIVITY VARIATIONS: Instead of tacos ingredients, substitute other foods like pizza, ice cream sundaes, hamburgers, hot dogs or nachos.

MARSHMALLOW TOWERSGet students to think creatively by splitting them into teams and giving each team a package of marshmallows and spaghetti.

The challenge? Build the tallest free standing structure in the room!

Explain the structure must be free standing (it can’t lean on anything), and will be measured from the base to the top. Putting the structure on a chair, table, etc. will not give them an advantage. Every person in the team must participate.

Give 5 minutes to design their structure and 15 minutes to build it. When time is up, measure the towers and reward the team who built the tallest one!

Debrief by asking: “How close was your plan to your actual design?”, “What was fun about this?”, “What was frustrating?”, “What worked?”, “How many ate the marshmallows?”, “If you had a chance to do it over, what would you do differently?”

VIDEO CLIPKick off this activity by showing your members a clip from a TV show (that’s appropriate and approved, of course!) and walking through the Character Hired activity together for that show.

DRESS FOR SUCCESS:HOW TO TIE A TIEMany middle level members don’t know how to tie a tie - an essential skill for their professional life. Have each member bring a tie from home to a chapter meeting and walk them through how to tie it (girls can participate in this, too!). If you don’t know how to a tie, watch tutorials on YouTube (and practice!) before trying to teach your members.

SAMPLE QUESTIONS-What is your educational background?-What skills does someone need to have to work in your industry?-Describe your ideal coworker/boss/employee.

COLLEGE SPIRIT DAYIt’s never too early to start thinking about college! Have each member research a college they are interested in attending. Then have a College Spirit Day where members dress up in that school’s colors. On College Spirit Day, have members share, in class or at a chapter meeting, what they learned about that college through their research.
