TEACHING HEALTH BASICS: 'Our bodies need healthy food, exercise, sleep and washing to work well! Let's learn about looking after our amazing bodies!'
SORTING ACTIVITIES: 'Is this a healthy choice or not-so-healthy? An apple—healthy! Staying up all night—not healthy! Running and playing—healthy!' Make it interactive and fun.
CONNECTING TO DAILY LIFE: 'You're drinking water! That's a healthy choice! You went on the climbing frame—healthy choice! You washed your hands—healthy choice! You're making great decisions!'
EMPOWERING CHOICE: 'YOU get to choose what's healthy for YOUR body. What healthy choice will you make today?' Build agency and ownership of health.
