2. Introduction
Eat Right, Play Hard, And Feel Goodwas a health promotion teaching
project presented to youth ages 5-12 years of age at the Medina
County YMCA on June 15, 2010 from 2:30pm-3:15pm.
3. Health Promotion
Childhood obesity is at epidemic proportions in the United
States.
In Medina County, 13.3 percent ofthird-graders were overweight in a
survey in the 2004-2005 school year(Ohio Department of Health,
2007).
4. Healthy People 2010
Nutrition and overweight, physical activity and fitness are Healthy
People 2010 focus areas under the overarching goal to increase
quality and years of healthy life (Healthy People 2010).
5. Behavioral/Learning Objectives
Participants will learn the anatomy of the MyPyramid, a nutritional
diagram created by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Center
for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (USDA, 2010).
Participants will learn how foods are divided into food
groups.
Participants will know how many servings are recommended in each
food group and know what a serving size is for each of the
different food groups.
Participants will correctly sort foods into the appropriate food
groups.
Participants will identify why physical activity is important for
growth and health. They will also identify how much physical
activity is recommended daily. They will participate in physical
activity during the presentation.
6. Focus on Nutrition & Physical Activity
7. The presentation began with an introduction,
lecture and discussion of the anatomy of the MyPyramid diagram,
food groups, and serving sizes for each food group.
8. In the Gym
9. After lecture and discussion,a food pyramid relay game was
played.Two lines of participants were formed. The first child in
line picked a card with a picture of a food on it. The child ran
across the gym to the pyramid and placed it in the correct food
group and ran back to the line, sending the next child running
across the gym with the next card. Whichever group ran out of cards
first, won.
10. Physical activity was incorporated into the relay
game.Approximately 180 steps were taken with each run across the
gymnasium.An average of 900 steps per child were taken at the end
of the relay. Did you know in a small McDonalds French fry there
are approximately 25-30 fries which means you would have to take
4,500 steps or 75 trips across the gym to use the energy
consumed?
11. With an 86% correct sorting rate, further review and discussion
of the food groups followed the relay game.
12. A short lecture and discussion of the importance of physical
activity and the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity daily
followed the food relay game.
Physical activity charades, a game, was played.The game explored
different physical activities that could be performed.
13. After the games, the participants were provided a healthy snack
of low-fat cheese, pretzels, applesauce, and water. Discussion and
review of the 5 food groups, and reviewing what was learned
occurred.The participants decided that their favorite part of the
presentation was physical activity charades.
