Incorporating healthy habits in your everyday routine by making it fun. With games, songs and even showing them that you are participating in it as well. We are showing them that we are being a good role model.

You can make healthy habits fun by creating games, songs, call and responses, dances etc. You can also make them more fun by being a part of the experience by participating yourself, some kids think its fun and cool to do and act as the adult in the room does.

Learning about the types of food that are good and bad for you, like the food pyramid making a game out of it, cutting fruits and foods into fun shapes and learning about fun fitness games.

Some ideas for making healthy habits fun would be:

do theme food (colors, shapes, etc.)

play active games that get their bodies moving (simon says, freeze dance, etc).

make up songs about healthy activities and sing them while doing those activities.

We make healthy habits into a game to make it fun. We also sing songs about the things we should be doing like washing our hands and brushing teeth.

[Nicole]

Absolutely! You can add fun by using music or movements to make the activities enjoyable

Healthy habits can be fun by making it into a silly song with possible actions to go along with it. Or make rhyming words for the healthy habit. Also by laughing and smiling!

Sing a song and dance, play music while they clean up.

[Emma]

You can make healthy habits fun by creating games or songs to make them more appealing.

[Shalom Bisesto]

While washing your hands, encourage the child and make it seem as exciting as possible! Most of the kids in my classroom absolutely love singing while doing activities, it can help to pass the time and make it more fun. When we clean up, we sing the clean up song. When we transition to outside activities instead of the classroom, we sing the ants go marching, or wheels on the bus, etc. We play eye spy with my little eye during cleanup, and use engaging chants and songs to make the safety procedures more exciting for the kids.
