Healthy eating and ourselves

[emitchell285]

Hello l am trying to plan ahead. I have decided my theme for January is ourselves and healthy eating. Can anyone share some activity ideas ect? and what area it covers Thanks Guys

That's a good theme for January as the children often hear parents talking about dieting in the new year and want to know more.

Planning depends on the ages of the children involved and their current likes, interests etc.

I would start with books about healthy eating, cookery books, visiting a cafe for some healthy food, making collages of healthy and unhealthy meals... those sorts of things.

You can use the eat well plate http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Goodfood/...ell-plate.aspx to do an activity where they log each food they have eaten that day in a section to see how well they are doing - drawing or writing for older ones or less informal with littlies like playing with the toy food and putting on different plates for different groups?

The website change 4 life is fantastic too to get ideas for healthy living for kids http://www.nhs.uk/change4life/Pages/...-for-life.aspx and activities.
