KNEES LIFTED HIGH STATION Activity Ideas• Organize physical challenges: jump rope, beanbag toss, basketball shoot, a tricycle race, etc. • Ask children to come up with ideas for activities that can replace TV watching or video-game playing that would make the body more strong.
PLATE FULL OF COLOR STATION Activity Ideas• Plant vegetable seeds in small pots for children to take home or monitor within their classrooms. • Provide whole, sliced, and diced fruits and vegetables for the children to create edible art with them (e.g., smiley faces, bugs, animals).
TRICKY TREATS STATION Activity Ideas• Discuss the commercials the children may have seen that promote sometime snacks. • Provide materials for the children to decorate several small, snack-size, zip-lock bags; label each with “everyday snack” and let them fill the bags with healthy snacks (provided or from home).
THROUGH THE EYES OF THE EAGLE STATION Activity Ideas • Draw, color, and cut out mask from materials supplied and have children act out the story as it is read aloud or make up their own. • Invite a community member to demonstrate a simple traditional dance step and to discuss how dancing helps to keep children healthy.
