I’m taking a class that needs me to volunteer 15 hours at a daycare or a school. I’m suppose to teach the kids about health, safety and nutrition. How can I do that and make it fun for the kids.
Any teachers out there that can give me advise on how to do this?
feb is dental health month. google preschool dental health theme or something to that effect and a whole bunch of ideas will pop up. like painting with tooth brushes or a cut and paste collage of healthy foods. there are tons and tons of great lessons online.
There are many ways to make learning fun. February is dental health month. You may want to cover that. You can teach about healthy foods and make a collage of the foods that are good for you and those that are not. You can get a print out of a mouth and have them paint with toothpaste using a toothbrush to "Brush up your smile." Paint with dental floss. Drop an egg in Pepsi and see what happens. Count teeth. There are also plenty of good books that kids will find interesting.
