Grade 3 – Health

1. My Healthy Recipe Book: Create your own recipe book filled with healthy and delicious recipes. Ask your family members for their favorite nutritious dishes, or come up with your own. Write down the ingredients and simple instructions for each recipe, and decorate the pages with drawings or pictures of the finished dishes. Share your recipe book with your classmates and encourage them to try out your healthy recipes.

2. Fitness Challenge Tracker: Set personal fitness goals and track your progress with a fitness challenge tracker. Choose exercises like jumping jacks, push-ups, or running, and set a goal for the number of repetitions or duration. Create a chart or use a fitness app to record your daily activities and mark your achievements. Celebrate your milestones and motivate your classmates to join in the challenge.

3. My Feelings Puzzle: Explore different emotions and learn how to express them in a healthy way. Draw or print out pictures representing various feelings like happiness, sadness, anger, or excitement. Cut them into puzzle pieces and mix them up. Put the puzzle back together, discussing each emotion as you connect the pieces. Talk about strategies for managing different emotions constructively.

4. Sleep Diary: Keep a sleep diary to understand the importance of a good night’s rest. Each day, record the time you go to bed, the time you wake up, and how you feel in the morning. Reflect on patterns and discuss the effects of quality sleep on your energy, mood, and overall well-being. Share your sleep diary with your classmates and discuss healthy sleep habits.

5. Mindful Moments Jar: Create a jar filled with mindful moments to help you relax and focus. Write down simple activities on slips of paper, such as deep breathing exercises, stretching, or mindful coloring. When you need a moment of calmness or concentration, pick a slip from the jar and practice the activity. Share your mindful moments with your classmates and encourage them to try them too.

6. Oral Health Poster: Design a colorful and informative poster about oral health. Include tips for maintaining a healthy smile, such as brushing twice a day, flossing, and visiting the dentist regularly. Draw or print pictures of healthy teeth and illustrate the steps for proper oral hygiene. Display your poster in the classroom or school hallway to spread awareness about dental care.

7. Healthy Habits Board Game: Create a board game that promotes healthy habits. Design a game board with colorful spaces, such as “Eat a Fruit,” “Do Jumping Jacks,” or “Drink Water.” Write simple rules and include cards with challenges related to healthy choices. Play the game with your classmates and discuss the benefits of the actions they take during the game.

8. My Exercise Routine Video: Make a fun exercise routine video to share with your classmates. Choose a catchy song and create a routine that includes different exercises like jumping, stretching, and dancing. Practice and record your routine, then present it to your class. Challenge your friends to follow along and stay active together.

9. Healthy Snack Investigation: Investigate different snack options and determine which ones are healthy choices. Collect a variety of snacks and categorize them into “healthy” and “less healthy” groups. Discuss the reasons behind your choices and create a display or poster showing the healthier options. Share your findings with your classmates and encourage them to make nutritious snack choices.

10. Feel-Good Art: Use art to express positive emotions and create a “feel-good” art gallery. Paint or draw pictures that represent happiness, kindness, gratitude, or other uplifting emotions. Display your artwork around the classroom and invite your classmates to contribute their own feel-good art. Discuss how art can contribute to overall well-being and promote positive emotions.
