MemberOctober 7, 2023 at 6:35 pmWe can make healthy habits fun by singing songs related to the habits (e.g. washing hands, eating healthy, etc) and making the habits into a game. For older kids you can do fun cooking experiments and also model how to engage in the healthy habits.

MemberOctober 24, 2023 at 8:09 pmI can make healthy habits fun by participating and showing kids how being healthy isn’t hard. Lead by example by washing hands often, playing with them at recess and explaining why it’s important to take care of our bodies.

An early learning provider can make heathy habits fun by engaging in simple activities such as taking walks outdoors, dancing in the Movement Room, and encouraging sports (kicking the ball to one another, throwing a ball, jumping rope, bouncy balls). Create fun food board games as a means to teach children.
