Engaging Activities for Teachers
and Youth Leaders

Welcome to our Healthy Kids Challenge downloadable pages! We’re providing AWE-some activities and ideas in an A-ppealing and fun W-elcome and inviting E-asy and simple format. These pages are to be used in the classroom, for after-school programs, or anywhere kids are found. The examples require few materials and are easy to follow.

We will provide a new downloadable activity each month based on the following 6 simple healthy habit building messages:

  1. Fruits & Veggies – Every Day the Tasty Way!
    Eat at least 5 servings (and up to 9) of fruits and veggies each day. Help kids learn “More Matters”!
  2. Snack Attack! – Recognize added sugar and fat in foods as a step in making choices for healthy balance. Choose foods with added sugar and fat less often or in smaller amounts.
  3. Active Play EVERY Day! – Increase physical movement through the day in every way. Choose things you LIKE to do for at least 60 minutes of active time most days.
  4. Breakfast GO POWER! – Eat breakfast to THINK-LEARN-GROW-PLAY
  5. Discover Smart Servings! Recognize how sometimes it is not WHAT but HOW MUCH. Choose larger servings of foods lower in added fat and sugar.
  6. Drink Think! Make a healthy SPLASH with a Drink Think. Choose water or low fat milk more often.
