Designed for physical educators who teach at the elementary (K-5) level, this full-color 9-page resource gives you ready-made weekly challenges each month that you can use to help your students build healthy habits at home. It contains 9 different monthly calendars (Sept. 2023-May 2024) with 4 different "health-focused" themes each month: fitness, family, food, & fun.
I have had a monthly fitness contest in my program for years. There is a winning class from each grade level based on which class had the most days active each month. The Healthy Habits Activity Calendar works the same way but gives students a week to complete each challenge. Each week has a different challenge focus:
Week 1 - Focus on Fitness - an exercise-based challenge incorporating various bodyweight exercises or yoga poses.
Week 2 - Focus on Family - challenges include various chores/jobs around the house as well as full family activities.
Week 3 - Focus on Food - nutrition is important, so students will be challenged with healthy eating activity choices.
Week 4 - Focus on Fun - fun looks different for everyone. Students will select from various activities to do for fun in week four.
