Teacher Tutorial

Make learning healthy habits fun!

The Florida Department of Health in collaboration with the Florida Department of Education have developed a new resource for teachers: "A Teacher Tutorial: Activities that Make Teaching Healthy Habits Fun." This video collaboration outlines three activities for elementary physical education and/or classroom teachers who incorporate nutrition education through fun, non-elimination games.

Teaching students about healthy lifestyles—including healthy eating and physical activity—at an early age helps today's students become healthy adults in the future.

The three activities demonstrated in the video align with Florida's Standards for Physical Education. Written descriptions of the activities are below:

• Healthy Snack Tag
• My Plate Power Puzzles
• Food Group Relay
