Sample Activities:
· FAVORITE THINGS THAT SUPPORT WELLNESS - Explain that many people have favorite things and that sometimes those things might not always be good for them. Play “My Favorite Things” (from the musical “The Sound of Music”) and ask students to listen carefully to the song. After the song has finished, ask students to list some of the items mentioned in the song. Ask: “Are the items mentioned in the song the same as your favorite things?” Give each student a chart with several categories of “favorites” (e.g., favorite food, TV show, song, sport, game, color, season). After students have had a chance to complete the chart, divide the class into small groups to compare charts. Members of each group discuss whether their favorites contribute to wellness. After limited discussion, each group selects from their collective lists three favorites that support wellness and report to the entire class. Create a master list. Reinforce that some things on the list may be better for us than others and help us to remain healthy. Each student draws a picture of their “healthy favorite” and completes a contract statement such as:
-
I can stay healthy by...
· WELLNESS POEM - Open this activity by asking students what wellness means to them. Write several responses on the chalkboard. Students develop an acrostic poem using the word “WELLNESS” or “HEALTHY” and create a collage or poster illustrating the wellness theme. Display the poems and artwork and discuss ways to remain healthy.
