I have to teach little kids about how to be healthy....how can i do this?

Question

I am doing a health and social care course and as part of it i have to carry out a health promotion campaign in a work setting. The setting i have been given is a nursery, and the campaign that i am to do is about healthy eating, so basically i need to come up with a good campaign to teach little kids about how to eat healthily and why it's important.

But i'm stuck for ideas as to how i can make this campaign work as obviously little children are going to require something not so advanced but fun at the same time.....do you have any ideas? I was thinking perhaps of making it into a game, but that may be hard. Please help!

Btw you are not allowed to take food in for them to sample...due to allergies etc.

Hope you can help

Answer 1

The little ones are usually obsessed with cartoon-like characters such as Dora, SpongeBob, Power Rangers, etc., so why couldn't you make it sort of fun for them by using them as an example such as 'What would Dora do to eat healthy?' or 'What kinds of exercises (such as jumping jacks, dodgeball, etc) do you think the Power Rangers might do to be as muscular as they are?'

There is, if I'm not mistaken, a Saturday morning cartoon (I have no idea what the name of it is because I saw it while flipping thru the channels one day) where all of the characters are fruits and vegetables.  Why not try to incorportate that into your course somehow?

Answer 2

so instead of real food,,try to bring a fake plastic food.

1. kids adore stories with pictures,,try to find big pictures and stories.

2. put those toys ( fake food) in boxes n warp them as a gift n let each kid open it 2 show his friends n try to make conversation with him about this kind of food..

3. since we have gifts,,that mean we shall have some games,,,

4. try to bring some one 2 help..let him act as a bad person,,the way he eat the way he looks,,n then let him change to eat healthy n change his look,,u can make this PLAY ( show) as funny part..

5. kids like coloring..n sticking stuff with glue :) try to prepare some thing 2 color.

good luck
