Nutrition Activity

Encourage students to use their knowledge of the food groups to plan a healthy meal. This activity requires students to plan out a meal that includes an entree, at least one side dish, and a beverage. This lesson is an excellent activity for a nutrition thematic unit.

Parachute Games for Kids

Parachute games encourage cooperative, non-competitive play and reinforce turn-taking and sharing in the classroom. The games below are fun for both children and adults and allow educators to share learning experiences with students.

Benefits of Exercise & Activity

Most kids are naturally physically active and love to move around. But as kids get older, it can be a challenge for them to get the amount of activity they need every day. Even so, educators can instill the benefits of being physically fit and help students make exercise part of their everyday routines.
