Healthy Me

Goal: Explain what keeps our bodies healthy: food, water, exercise, sleep and keeping clean.

For parents: Children at this age can start to link actions with results: 'After running my heart beats fast.' Let them notice it in their own bodies.

Do together

  1. Heartbeat test

    You need: A minute of jumping

    Put a hand on your chest. Feel your heartbeat. Jump for a minute and feel again. What changed?

  2. My healthy day chart

    You need: Paper with five columns: water, fruit, play, sleep, wash

    Tick each one when it is done. Try to fill the chart every day for a week.

  3. Our handwashing picture steps

    You need: Paper and crayons

    Draw your family's handwashing steps together and put the pictures in order. Use them during ordinary supervised handwashing. Explain that this is a reminder for a routine, not a way to see germs.

Talk about it

  • Why do we need to sleep?
  • What happens to your body when you run?
  • Why is soap better than water alone?

Words to use

  • healthy
  • exercise
  • heartbeat
  • germs
  • sleep
  • water
