WHAT IS IT?
One sheet of fruit to colour in. 
But they may only colour them in when they've followed the rules of the fruit salad challenge.

WHY THE FRUIT SALAD CHALLENGE WAS CREATED:
 
Do you have a student who
✔️ Is capable
✔️ Is talented
✔️ Enjoys playing
❌ Is a huge procrastinator and professional complainer
 
I do. We’ll call him...Ashley.
 
Ashley is a 9-year-old student who is a fantastic pianist.
 
When he can be bothered to try.
 
Nothing was motivating him.
 
Until I gave him this Fruit Salad Challenge.
 
I ran him through the rules. He was intrigued.
 
And, more importantly, I got his mum on side. She was in agreement that when Ashley had a complete Fruit Salad (minus Moaning Melons) she would take him to the nearby water park.
 
The challenge was on.
 
And Ashley was playing and practicing like never before.
 
Near the end of his challenge, he announced,
 
“I’m playing to my entire school next week because I think my piece is sounding incredible.”
 
He could tell that all his extra hard work was paying off.
 
And he wanted to show it to as many people as possible.
 
Because when he tries, he is great.
 
He just needs that extra nudge of motivation.
 
This is for all the Ashleys out there.
