How I get children to look right into the camera and not blink!

I hear from Lions all the time, that the hardest part of vision screening is getting the children to look at the camera.

Here is my solution

Look at the photo above. Have these printed out with your Lions club information on them (this is important). Or send this to the daycare your going to be screening at and have them print them up.
By having the children color these pages your going to familiarize them with the screener. Now when the children come in to be screened this is what I say
“Hi! This is Bob. (the name I gave my vision screener)  He wants to have a staring contest with you. Now he almost always wins so open your eves wide and don’t blink or look away or look away. Let’s see if you can beat Bob!
This almost always gets the kids to open those eye and star right into that camera.
And if you tell the kids to take their coloring pictures home to hang on the refrigerator and to show mom and dad, more exposure for your club.
If you want copies of this image to make your own coloring  pages email me and I will be happy to share them with you.
