This is a month long health challenge our family is embarking on tomorrow. (This presentation was created for two 8-year-olds, as you can maybe tell.) Good luck, us! Salud!

1. Family Health Challenge
31 days of healthy living

2. Our Challenge:
• We will start with a list of 10 healthy habits.
• For 31 days, our mission will be to practice those
healthy habits.
• We’ll record our progress through out the month.

3. Healthy Habits Charts
• We’ll record our progress on these charts.
• At the end of each day, see which healthy
challenges you accomplished, and mark the box
for each one.

4. Health Challenge Goal = 70%
• If we meet our goal of
checking 70% of the
boxes, we get a
PRIZE!
• There will be a prize
for each individual
who gets 70%, and
also a prize for the
whole family if we
average 70%.

5. Healthy Habits Journals
We will each also get a
healthy habits journal.
Try to write in it a little
bit each day.
Make note of things that
are hard for you (or
easy!), and of how
you’re feeling along
the way.

6. What are the 10 healthy habits?
(I’ll tell you…)

7. #1- Leaf it to Me
• Leafy greens are an
excellent source of
many nutrients your
body needs to be
strong and healthy.
• And they’re so tasty!
• Do I see an artichoke
there?

8. #1 - Leaf it to Me
• For this one, you must
eat at least one serving
of leafy green
vegetables during the
day.
• Don’t be shy if you
want to have more!

9. #2 - Tea of Green
• Drinking green tea
helps keep you healthy
by fighting off a
number of diseases.
• It’s like a karate
master in your body,
threatening illnesses
with a round house
kick!

10. #2 - Tea of Green
• For this one, you just
have to drink one cup
of green tea that day!
• You might like yours
with honey, or maybe
iced!

11. #3 - Water Works
• Water works to keep
your body hydrated
and running smoothly.
• Your whole body
needs water, and
dehydration can make
you feel lousy.
• Sip with ice, lemon or
straight from the tap!

12. #3 - Water Works
• Drink water whenever you
are thirsty.
• Then drink a little more!
• You don’t have to go
crazy with the water, just
stay hydrated.
• (The clearer your pee, the
more hydrated you are!)

13. #4 - Scrub in the Tub
• It’s important to keep
your body clean.
• Good personal
hygiene benefits your
mental, emotional and
social health too.
• See? Even hedgehog
takes a bath.

14. #4 - Scrub in the Tub
• This one’s easy -
• Take a bath!
• Or…
• Take a shower!

15. #5 - Wash Hands
• Keeping your hands clean
helps prevent the spread
of diseases.
• Germs are everywhere!
• Protect yourself and your
friends and family.
• So, in Spanish, lavarse sus
manos!

16. #5 - Wash Hands
• Wash your hands
through out the day…
• Before and after eating
• After going to the loo
• Any time you feel like
it!

17. #6 - Sup’s Up
• Supplements are pills
or other things besides
food that you add to
your diet for better
health.
• Vitamins, calcium and
many other
supplements can help
improve your health.

18. #6 - Sup’s Up
• We will each write our
supplement plan in the
front of our journals.
• Only take the
supplements that are in
your plan, and never
take extra!

19. #7 - Getty Sweaty
• Exercise that gets your
heart rate up is
excellent for your
whole body.
• Even the sweating
itself is good for
certain organs!
• So don’t be afraid to
getty sweaty!

20. #7 - Getty Sweaty
• Do something until
you sweat!
• Walk, run, play,
dance, clean,
whatever.
• If you’re not up to any
of these, even a
steamy bath or shower
can count.

21. #8 - Floor Time
• There are many
beneficial exercises
and stretches you can
do right down on the
floor.
• Yoga, push ups,
butterfly arms and
squats are all
examples.

22. #8 - Floor Time
• Get down on the floor
and use your body!
• Try some yoga, some
floor exercises or
stretches you know, or
make up your own!
• Listen to your body.
If it hurts, adjust.

23. #9 - Moderation Sensation
• Moderation means
limiting something.
• Some foods and drinks are
tasty but only good for
your body in moderation. QuickTimeª and a
decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
• 1 cookie after dinner is
moderation.
• 10 cookies before
breakfast is NOT
moderation.

24. #9 - Moderation Sensation
• In your journal, you will
write down your goal for
any foods or drinks you
want to limit.
• Example: “No more than
one dessert and one small
sweet a day.”
• You can check off the
days you meet your goal.

25. #10 - Peaceful Moment
• Taking a quiet
moment to yourself
each day is good for
your mental,
emotional, spiritual
and physical health.
• The world is fast and
noisy and busy. Try to
find calm inside.
