Kindergarten Child Care Activities

Engage your students in making smart, balanced food choices with our Healthy Choices lesson and interactive worksheet! This resource guides students through understanding nutrition, making informed choices, and balancing meals to promote health and wellness.

Product Highlights:

• Whole Lesson Presentation: Students explore healthy choices through an engaging presentation that introduces different food groups, calorie counting, and balanced meal building.
• Interactive Food Choice Activity: Students select their ideal meal from a variety of food options on the presentation. Each food is paired with a number indicating calories, which students record and total to see how their choices add up.
• My Plate and Food Group Sorting Worksheets: Students can either sort their food choices into the My Plate format or organize them by food groups, helping them visualize balanced meals.
• Calorie Counting Discovery: As students tally their choices, they learn how calories vary between foods, especially when it comes to fast food options. A surprising reveal of New York Pizza topping the list at a calorie score of 9 opens up an insightful discussion on nutrition!
• Balanced Zone Check: At the end, students determine if their meal choices fall within the ideal "healthy range" of 16-22. If their total is too low, they may need to add more variety, while a high number can signal excess calories, sparking valuable reflections.

Why Educators Love This Resource:

• Student-Led Exploration: This lesson encourages students to make discoveries themselves, promoting active learning and critical thinking.
• Real-Life Application: Helps students connect nutrition concepts to real-life decisions, empowering them to make balanced food choices.
• Comprehensive and Visual: With options to sort foods by group or "My Plate," students can clearly see the structure of a well-balanced meal.

Ideal For:

• Teachers focusing on health and wellness topics for elementary or early middle school students.
• Classrooms aiming to develop life skills in making informed dietary choices.
• Educators wanting an interactive, student-led lesson in nutrition that’s both educational and fun.

Set the foundation for lifelong healthy choices with this engaging, self-directed Healthy Choices lesson, perfect for instilling confidence in making balanced food choices while having fun with calorie discovery!

What's Included In This Bundle:

Back To School Themed Tracing Cards - Letters & Numbers:

(Uppercase & lowercase alphabet tracing cards - Number Tracing cards 1-10).

This is a great activity to help your students practice holding a pencil and writing their numbers and letters. As well as another way to get more letter and number recognition practice in.

I recommend printing and laminating these in order to be able to reuse them. Expo markers are great to use for easy clean-up!

School Bus Back To School-Themed Play-doh Mats

This is a fun unique way of practicing letter recognition as well as how to form each letter of the alphabet. You can have your students tell you what each letter is and then form the letter using play-doh, pom poms, buttons, beads, or anything else you would like them to use. It is also great fine motor practice!

I would recommend printing these and laminating them for better durability.

There are capital and lowercase letter play-doh mats A-Z as well as 1-10 play-doh mats.
