This Week's Challenge: 5 Steps to Healthier Schools | ||||||
#1 Healthy Food Taste Test | ||||||
A taste test can be a fun way to get kids to try new fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat/fat-free dairy products. We have a collection of tips to help you organize one at your school. Learn more about food! | ||||||
#2 Organize a Walking School Bus | ||||||
If you live near the school ask other families in the neighborhood to create a "Walking Bus," as a fun and active way to get to school. Find out more! | ||||||
#3 Brain Break Activities | ||||||
Using physical activity challenges in the classroom help children learn and retain information better. We have great tools to help incorporate these in the classroom. See the Activities! | ||||||
#4 Healthy Classroom Party | ||||||
Be creative! Use these healthy party ideas instead of the traditional cupcakes and soda next time you have a classroom event. Know your nutrition! | ||||||
#5 Educational Classroom Handouts | ||||||
Make it easy for schools to provide educational materials to all of the kids in your school by sharing these handy resources. Get the resources!
