Health must be protected from a young age. This is a well-known saying. In this article I want to talk about what you can prepare activities for a healthy lifestyle.
What it is?
At the very beginning, you need to deal with such a concept as a healthy lifestyle. What is it? I must say that this is a whole concept of the life of an individual. Its main goals are:
- Disease Prevention
- Maintaining and maintaining health.
To do this, you can use a variety of methods, the main of which are: healthy nutrition, physical activity on the body, giving up bad habits and the right moral attitude.
Conversations
So, I would like to separately consider all kinds of activities for a healthy lifestyle. In what ways can one try to convey the truth to citizens of different ages? First of all, this can be done through conversations on a given topic. This is most often used in schools. So, not only teachers, but also various specialists in the medical and sports industry tell children and adolescents why they should try to adhere to certain rules and what may lead to their violation. In this case, you can use a variety of supporting materials: real life stories, video and photo materials, posters, sketches. Similar events can be held in adult groups.
Trivia
What other healthy lifestyle activities are there? So, if we are talking about schoolchildren, you can organize a small quiz. In this case, you will first have to prepare a script and select special questions that will relate to a given topic. And in order for children to be more interesting, everything needs to be organized in the form of a small competition with a winner and small prizes. In this case, the guys will be more attentive and in this game form will better understand the material offered by the teachers.
Children's Health Day
What can be a healthy lifestyle in primary school? In this case, you can organize a Health Day. But for this you will have to attract parents. So, children are invited to spend the day according to previously agreed rules (exercise, healthy breakfast, classes at school, a walk in the fresh air, playing sports, etc.). That is, the child can be given the task to make the maximum of healthy things for the day. As evidence, you can ask your kids to film or take certain activities. Children will like it, because they will need to use modern gadgets (which even the smallest guys can easily master). As an illustration of a healthy lifestyle, you can take a video of how the young winner spent the day. And, of course, the child will have to be awarded. For example, it may be an element of sports equipment.
Health Day (city level)
Considering events for a healthy lifestyle, I would also like to say separately that you can also spend Health Day at the city level. To do this, you can connect social services and other urban institutions that should deal with such issues. So, the plan of the event can be completely different. The day can begin with a collective run of citizens on the main street of the city. Then you can hold all kinds of competitions: football, basketball, volleyball, etc. It’s a good idea to organize relay races and bicycle races. And in order to attract young people, you will have to remember about modern and non-classical sports. So, you can open break dance competitions, organize a tournament for fans of skateboards or videos. In fact, there are many options. The point is to attract as many citizens of different age groups as possible.
Poster contest
Why not organize a contest for the best poster "Healthy Lifestyle"? So, this can be done at the level of class, school. You can even organize an interscholastic tournament. For this, groups of children should make the most informative and creative poster “Healthy Lifestyle”. As a gift to the winner, this creation can be placed on the billboards of the city or region.
Trainings
Everyone knows that a healthy lifestyle is great. After all, a person is trying not only to maintain, but even improve his health. And in this case, such a method as training helps a lot. What it is? During the training, children lose certain situations, according to the results of which they must draw the right conclusions. That is, the training itself is not aimed at showing how to do it right (live, act). Its purpose: so that the child himself understands what is “right” using a simple example. You can conduct such classes in a variety of age groups. Undoubtedly, all children of different ages will like to participate in such events.
A meeting
Prevention of a healthy lifestyle is a very important action that affects not only children but also adults. And in order to conduct better and better conversations on a certain topic, it is best to organize meetings with various specialists. So, it will not be just a lecture by a healthcare professional or a qualified athlete. During such meetings, students can ask questions, ask what exactly they are interested in on a particular issue. The interest is that a specialist in a given field is better versed in certain concepts and categories than, for example, a simple school teacher. So, the doctor will be able to more clearly tell why smoking is harmful and how it affects the patient’s health. And an athlete with a discharge will more readily tell you how to properly train to improve your health, and not harm it.
Stocks
Various public organizations like to do all kinds of actions on a given topic. Why not hold a similar event, which will be called "Healthy lifestyle - it's great!"? In this case, all kinds of handouts are involved : booklets, brochures, calendars with slogans, etc. You can also make a short presentation with short scenes that relate to a healthy lifestyle. All sorts of methods can be used to attract the attention of those passing by. Even brief informing citizens about the rules of a healthy lifestyle is of great importance and action.
Sport competitions
A great way to improve health is sports. It is simply impossible to organize a healthy lifestyle without it. Therefore, it is possible to instill a love of physical activity in children through various competitions. So, the guys really like to find out who is better. Therefore, you can organize a variety of sports competitions. All of them must end with the selection of winners and their rewarding. This is a great motivation for children of different ages.
Round tables
Prevention of a healthy lifestyle can be discussed at a round table. So, this event is calmer in its scenario. In this case, the participants sit at the so-called negotiation table and discuss on a given topic. What is the plus? During conversations, disputes may arise that are known to give rise to truth. In addition, often at round tables there are various innovative ideas that can then be successfully implemented.
Information stands
A very important stage is called “the formation of a healthy lifestyle in a child”. So, for this, all means are good. In addition to active actions (contests, competitions, promotions, meetings), various information stands are also very useful. These are often placed in schools and other educational institutions. So, they should be not only the most informative, but also bright. That is, those that attract attention. The stand should be interesting, not boring. The child needs to want to read it, or at least watch it.
Life for health
All parents must know how to properly form a healthy lifestyle (for children) . So, for this it is enough to organize the day by ourselves so that it is as healthy as possible. After all, everyone knows that the child learns from the example of parents. If mom and dad smoke and do not play sports at all, you do not need to demand the opposite from the baby. However, if the baby sees daily how mom prepares a healthy balanced breakfast, and dad does exercises, the baby will learn that this is normal, and it should be so. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to form a healthy lifestyle for parents, and then it is also required from their heirs - children.
