Activity Introduction

In this lesson, we get active, moving and grooving along to music.

Students explore the different ways we can be healthy, focusing on fabulous food, wonderful water, moving, grooving and restful recharge. The students make a ‘Healthy Me’ poster, showing all of the ways you can reduce added sugar every day, drink more water and get plenty of rest. The posters can be used as a display to share with others.
