Health lesson plan on a "Hollywood" theme?

Question

Does anyone have any good suggestions for this? It shouldn't be difficult to put together and can be modified for kids ages 4-13. I'm not really needing actual lesson plans-- more of ideas that I can modify to create a lesson plan with.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Here are just a few random ideas:

movie posters (created by you or the students) to advertise healthy habits or body systems

movie "reviews" of body systems or other healthy information

You've got the whole: Lights, camera, ACTION thing you could go with RE: exercise

I do a "snapshot" thing at the beginnnig of the year.  My border looks like movie film.  There are "scene snapshots" the previous year's students created to show next year's kids some of the things we'll be doing.  You could modify that idea to highlight key things.

Scripts with reader's theater plays about health.

Lots of black, white and/or silver.

casting party - for everyone who reaches some goal, or to cap off the unit  (or does the casting party come first, ... I don't know)

games involving stars - like the Hollywood stars set in concrete.  These stars could have key points on them.

Hope this rambling helped!
