1. Start your Own Challenge OR Get Challenged
This challenge is all about raising awareness of the Mardi Paws non-profits helping Kids & K-9’s and having a lot of fun creating your very own interpretation of BABY BARK!
2. Accept the Challenge
Once you’ve been challenged, or decide to start your own, get your Barky and Sharky thinking cap on and come up with your very own version of the Baby Shark videos. This can be done solo, or with a group.
It can be as simple as singing the song but using… “Baby BARK, doo doo doo doo doo, Mommy BARK, doo doo doo doo doo”
Or using dogs instead of sharks in the video (generally a safer bet), or barks instead of words, or spoofs of aquatic-themed movies, you get the idea. Anything that involves Paws or Jaws or Sharkasm works!
Of course, you can refuse the challenge, but we’re really hoping you won’t! Don’t worry, there’s no donation required if you refuse, but you’ll miss out on great prizes floating around, and the chance to help others!
And if you’re feeling guilty for refusing the challenge, you can always make a small tax-deductible donation on-line to our volunteer 501c3.
3. Gather your props before you film
Once you get your idea in place, pull together any backdrop or costume or prop or music you may need.
Don’t forget a leash so Fido won’t run off!
4. Film Your Video
Your video can be as short or long as you like, though we recommend keeping them as short as possible.
It would be great if you can mention this information at the beginning,
OR write it down on a big piece of poster board and hold it up.
A: You or Your Group’s name
B: Who challenged you (not necessary if starting your own)
C: That you’ve accepted the Baby Bark Video Challenge
D: Name other people or groups you want to challenge
E: Mention… www.BabyBark.org
That's it, now it’s time for Lights, Camera, Action! Just push RECORD!
5. Upload Your Masterpiece
When you’re finished, upload your video anywhere on the Internet: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter (you can find our social on this website)
6. Share and Tag who you’ve challenged
Share it with us on any of our social media channels, and hashtag #BabyBarkChallenge #BabyBark #MardiPaws
Don’t forget to tag the people or groups you’ve challenged so they’ll know they’ve been challenged.
Here’s an example…
