Make health a joyful experience. If you want them to be more active, make it fun! Find activities they enjoy, like sports or dancing, and get them started early in the season.

Singing songs, having printed sequence cards posted, and talking about ways to be healthy during circle time are all effective, fun ways.

Get creative with healthy snacks and meals. You can do this with making fun shapes or designs with the food. You can also involve the children in the preparation process. You can incorporate fun activities into the daily routine. You can play music and have a dance party. You can reward children for healthy habits with positive reinforcement such as stickers or small prizes. And my last suggestion would be modeling healthy behaviors. Children often mimic our behaviors, so it’s important to model healthy habits yourself.

Showing pictures, showing their routines everyday, have the children participate looking at books that show the different kinds of healthy food. Showing them that healthy food makes their teeth and bones strong. Singing a song about food, show the children how to make a healthy snack, and have them get involve making their snacks with the teacher.

It’s important to be apart of the action you are requiring from the child, this allows them to feel you too have to do these things. Make it fun, sing the clean up song while picking up with them, and sing the name of the toy you are picking up, and sing the name of the area you are placing the toy at, in turn they may copy what you are doing. You can also do the same when eating!! When I am changing a child, I make it fun by singing , what I am doing ” taking off Johnny’s pants, to get to that dirty diaper, off go’s the pants!!”, the children seem to do like this, and they seem to calm down and stay still for me!!

Things like singing, playing, and making it like a fun game will encourage children to engage with healthy habits like eating different kinds of food, doing a hand-washing song after messy activities or going to the bathroom,in addition, you could partake in the healthy habits with them- after you help toilet or diaper, invite them to go wash their hands and tell them you’re going to go wash, too! “Let’s go together!”

i thinking singing songs about habits can be fun, also showing yourself doing the habits is another helpful thing.
