Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Shade
Much like the 5 D’s of Dodgeball, the 5 S’s of Summer should roll off of your tongue.
Australian summers are postcard perfect, and often the selling point for tourists and travel agencies. And who could blame them? Those pristine strips of sand dividing an endless ocean from the gorgeous landscape. For those who are more urban inclined, our multicultural cities and suburbs provide countless choices for all sorts of cuisines. Not to mention the quaint chicness of sipping on a coffee while sitting under the shade of an outdoor umbrella. All as locals and visitors alike bustle past a local gem of a café. Even for the locals, summers are an especially special time; families get together for the holidays, and often these parties are held in backyards or at the local park. There’s normally enormous amounts of food and fresh fruit consumed too.
There’s something that all these amazing pictures have in common, however, and that’s the presence of the sun. Everyone, from tourists through to a True Blue through and through, are taught to respect the Australian sun. As an events company that provides entertainment for many outdoor events, we are doubly aware of the dangers of sunburn. Our performers must be protected, but we also design events where our guests are also safe from a nasty burn.
Here are some sunburn prevention tips. You may already know alot of this, but it’s important to refresh yourself and those around you. This especially goes for any friends visiting from overseas!
The 5 S’s of Summer
This is a phrase that kids and adults alike have heard endlessly. Slip Slop Slap are three actions that a person going outdoors should take to ensure protection against the sun’s strong and harmful UV rays. The phrase has also had two extra steps added on: Seek and Slide. The steps are simple:
Slip on sun-protective clothing. Make sure it covers as much skin as possible. It may sound really warm to be wearing long-sleeves in summer, but covering up your arms with light, breathable material drastically reduce its exposure to the UV rays, which can make you feel hot, anyway.
Slop on sunscreen. Good sunscreen should be water resistant and SPF30+ (or higher), as non-water resistant sunscreen can be easily washed off by the beach, the pool, or your sweat, and lower SPF sunscreens cannot protect the skin as effectively. The Cancer Council Australia also recommends that sunscreen be reapplied after 2 hours.

Slap on a hat. In primary school, students who forgot to bring a hat to school couldn’t go out to play in the sun. A good, broadbrimmed hat can protect not just the head and face, but the ears and neck as well (where people often forget to put on sunscreen)!

Seek shade. If the birds do it, why shouldn’t you? When you’re sitting at the outdoor café, make sure there’s a big umbrella under which you can be shaded, or simply opt to sit indoors. If you’re waiting for the bus, the train, or in line for a festival where we’re providing entertainment, try to find a shaded area to stand.

Slide on some sunglasses. The best protective sunglasses are close fitting or wrap-around, covers as much of the eye area (including the peripherals), and are Category 2, 3, or 4, which are better at protecting the eyes against UV rays.

Fun away from the sun
If you are thinking about hosting an event, remember to keep these points above in mind. A backyard brunch sounds casual, fun, and full of laughter, but it can also be a disaster if all your guests go home that evening just as cooked as the meat. Consider moving the spot where everyone hangs out to a shaded area, such as the pagola, under large shade umbrellas, or simply inside the house, with the windows open to let some light in. Alternatively, place a big container of sunscreen where everyone can help themselves, and prepare some light clothing to offer the guests to put cover with, in case they want extra protection.
For events where you are hiring entertainment, also put the performers’ health into consideration. A long time under the sun and in costume can be very sweaty work, but professional performers, such as ours, always put the quality of the entertainment first. Make sure you give them – and if the entertainment happens to be interactive – and the guests breaks and plenty of cold fluids so that everyone can replenish their energy.
Now you have refreshed your mind on the 5 S’s of Summer, go out and enjoy it!
However you are spending your Summer, just remember to keep yourself safe in the sun. If you would rather indoor events, be sure to ask us about our indoor friendly entertainment.
