Presenting to an Exhibit Judge -- Vibrant Clubs
Exhibiting at Fairs has long been a traditional part of a 4-H member’s learning experience. In Iowa 4-H, we use conference judging for most of our static (non-living) exhibits. Conference judging allows 4-H members to have a face-to-face conversation with an expert to discuss the member’s work. Judges are caring adults trained to use this process to educate, evaluate, and encourage 4-H members. Members who prepare to share their stories with the judge will likely approach the experience with more confidence and greater anticipation.

4-H Poetry -- Vibrant Clubs
While many people think poems need to rhyme, they do not. A poem is a series of words to paint pictures in the mind of the reader. The poet (or author of the poem) chooses words for their meaning, sound, or rhythm.

For this activity, you will need to create your own list of 4-H vocabulary—words or terms that are familiar to 4-H youth. Or use the word bank provided at the end of the lesson. If using word magnets, it is recommended to store them on a cookie sheet or other magnetic surface.

Communications: Pieces to a Presentation Puzzle
You are sitting at a 4-H club meeting. Someone tells you that all members should sign up to give a presentation at a future club meeting. Your hands get sweaty, your heart falls into your stomach, and you think, "I have to do what?" Then you watch some of the other members give presentations at the meeting, and they seem to be completely relaxed! It seems like they just get up and start talking. Some people can do this, but most of us have to plan and practice to feel less nervous.

Put your jitters to rest; use this fact sheet to help you prepare for your first presentation. Understanding the steps to prepare will help your first presentation go smoothly. Like a puzzle, a presentation has different pieces that fit together. Let’s look at the pieces to the presentation puzzle.

A working exhibit is the sharing of a talent or showing off a skill! If you have a talent, share it with others. If you know a subject well, tell others about it. If you have a skill, teach it to others.

A 4-H working exhibit gives you the chance to present a topic informally. Your working exhibit should be a "teaching" or "showing" presentation. Every project area could have a working exhibit!
