Decide on the health topic that you want to teach. Possible topics include the food groups, body parts and their function, and the importance of oral hygiene.
Design a plan. Keep your plan structured, organized and easy to follow. For instance, break a lesson about dental hygiene into segments, including how cavities are formed and the correct way to brush and floss teeth; allot time for using visual aids and handing out new toothbrushes.
Allot time for fun activities, such as games, visuals, and questions and answers.
Prepare a game. Games help children to remember material by sparking their interest and keeping them entertained. For instance, help children remember the food groups by designing a team relay race where they have to place each food in the correct group.
Prepare visuals. Posters, magnets and window clings are examples of visual aids that children can see on a daily basis. Handouts, videos and displays will assist in learning during lessons. For instance, the use of dolls or skeletons can help children learn about their bodies.
Reward healthy behavior. Praise and reward children when they make healthy decisions every day. Quiz children randomly throughout the day, and reward them for correct answers. Water bottles, jump ropes and plant seeds are examples of prizes that reflect healthy lessons.
