1. Turn it into a game: Create games or challenges that involve healthy habits. For example, you can have a “Vegetable of the Day” challenge where children try different vegetables and earn points or stickers for each one they eat.

2. Use creative activities: Incorporate art, music, or storytelling to promote healthy habits. Encourage children to draw or paint their favorite fruits and vegetables, sing songs about healthy eating, or read books that emphasize the importance of exercise and hygiene.

3. Make it interactive: Involve children in hands-on activities that promote healthy habits. Set up a mini-garden where they can plant and care for their own vegetables, organize fun exercise sessions or dance parties, or let them prepare simple, healthy snacks themselves.

I would tell them a funny/short story about germs. For example, “we have tiny bugs in our hands, but that is normal, all of us have it, that is why is very important to was our hands, after using the bathroom, before eating, after playground” and we would sing a song

How can you make healthy habits fun?

Healthy habits can be fun depending on how you approach it and your own attitude. For example think about pairing a book with a specific practice, then talk about it, how important it is. Afterwards be excited to try the skill, and encourage other children to try. Use a lot of consistent positive reinforcement individually and in front of the group. Ask the children questions and for help. Maybe on a vegetable lesson you or a puppet can be thinking about eating broccoli or cake, and have the children help the puppet make a choice.

Healthy habits can be fun if I keep a positive attitude with the kids and turn it into a game. This can be done through songs related to healthy habits.

[Haerin]

I always like to make healthy habit related games or song and if it’s food related preparing the food together would give them exposure to certain foods they may not like initially.

Make a song or do a game.

songs are a great way!

[Veronica]

Doing them in fun ways such as using a song when washing hands so it’s fun and they make sure they wash their hands for long enough.

[Molly Carden]

Healthy habits can be made fun for children by incorporating learning, songs, and games. If the children are curious about what they’re doing or eating to be healthy, they have fun with it! A song during meal time or simply describing what they’re eating can make healthy habits fun

To make healthy habits fun, I would talk about why we eat something. I would eat some. I would make it fun and interactive. I would use positive reinforcements and praise.
