You can make healthy habits fun by making it into a game or song that you use all the time to get the children engaged.

MemberJune 1, 2023 at 9:24 pmI think the best way to make healthy habits fun is to incorporate some dancing or some music. I feel like majority of children have fun in this area and it can help turn something as boring as brushing your teeth every morning into a dance party while still getting that very important daily habit done!

Model good hygiene and habits. Use puppetry to have discussions with the children. Expose children to brushing teeth, trying new foods, etc. as a group. Sing songs about it and read stories about topics related to healthy habits.

Whether it’s hand washing or forming a line or being safe crossing the street. Having a song helps everyone concisely remember what needs to be done and adds a little fun.

you make healthy habits fun. you could create a game or song or even dance. Show the child that you are doing it as well. children learn by copying and if they see you doing something most likely they will want to do it too.you make healthy habits fun. you could create a game or song or even dance.

MemberJune 18, 2023 at 6:34 pmOne way to make healthy habits fun is to turn it into a game or a light hearted competition. For example saying, I bet I can wash my hands better then you, will make preschool students want to beat the teacher by washing their hands.

You can make healthy habits fun by creating fun rhymes or songs to teach children healthy habit. Like you could do a fun song while washing hands to make sure the kids wash their hand long enough. Or you can create games or activities that make learning about healthy habits fun and engaging.
