I need to teach kids about health, safety and nutrition?
A D V E R T I S E M E N T
I’m taking a class that needs me to volunteer 15 hours at a daycare or a school. I’m suppose to teach the kids about health, safety and nutrition. How can I do that and make it fun for the kids.
Any teachers out there that can give me advise on how to do this?

nutrition- you can bring in play food that has to do with the pyramid (i would also bring in a cut-out pyramid) help them match where the food goes on the pyramid. explain that you need certain amounts of this food per day in order for your body to grow big and strong.
safety- with younger ones; i do units on street lights, wearing a helmet as well as not talking to strangers.
health- bring in a doll or something explaining main body parts and tell them by playing outstide, doing sports and being active helps your body live longer and stronger. then play a game with them (even an easy one like duck, duck, goose!)
