12 Grab & Go Projects for Health

June 11, 2016

https://thehealthteacher.com/the-blue-zones-project/ * this post originally appeared on Choices.Scholastic.com

Many schools are shifting their curriculum to include project-based learning (PBL), but in the life of a teacher, project planning time is always tight.

As a head start, use any of these 12 ready-to-go projects and adapt them to your class as needed. Just click on the project title for a step-by-step outline.

1. The Blue Zones Project: Cultivating Healthier, Happier Student Lifestyles

Students research The Blue Zones, five areas of the world where people are most likely to live to be over 100. After learning about the healthy behaviors that lead to longevity, students set “Blue Zone” goals to implement within their homes and communities.

2. The Energy Bar Project: Part 1 & Part 2

Students analyze food packaging health claims by making a trip to the grocery store, taste-testing energy bars, then creating and marketing their own healthy bars, complete with product boxes and a commercial. (This is a new project I tried this year, and my students absolutely loved it!)

3. Exploring Dietary Guidelines Around the World (and at Home)

Let’s be real: The FDA’s new dietary guidelines are more confusing than ever. To learn to love real food, rather than fear food data, students will research dietary guidelines from around the world and create a set of guidelines for your school, using journalist Michael Pollan’s Food Rules as an aid.

4. A Nutrition PBL That Can Lead to Healthier School Lunch

After watching an inspirational documentary about a group of kids who bettered the lunch options in their school’s cafeteria, students work to make change in their own school with the help of an awesome advocacy kit from DoSomething.org .

5. The Family Values Project

Family values play a key role in the decision-making process, and as teens gain more freedom, sticking to those values will help keep them safe from high-risk behaviors. In this project, students have a conversation with their parents to create a list of core values and a mission statement for their family.

6. The Alcohol Research Lab

Research on the impact of alcohol and the teenage brain is updated almost constantly. Rather than give the students the facts, let them find out for themselves as they dig up the latest details on the risks of underage drinking.

7. Teaching Kids About E-Cigarettes

Using resources provided as a launching point, students will create their own inquiry-based project to learn more about e-cigarettes.

8. An Advocacy Project to Help Kids Learn About the Benefits of Sleep

Today’s teens are horribly sleep deprived, and many of them don’t understand all of the ways that it’s negatively impacting their health. In this project, they’ll research the benefits of sleep and create an advocacy campaign to convince their classmates to get more shut-eye.

9. Stress Management for Teens

This unit plan ends on a positive note, with students making videos of their favorite healthy coping skills and stress busters. (This one is always a highlight for my sixth grade students.)

10. Positive Peer Pressure to Help Stop Bullying

Rather than take the anti-bullying angle, this project has students use a medium of their choice to encourage and support others via positive prevention methods.

11. Advocacy Through Art

In this cross-curricular project, health classes and art classes team up to create a public service announcement and a logo for an advocacy campaign of their conception.

12. Using Social Media to Teach Advocacy

So often we focus on the negative when talking to kids about social media, but in reality, they’re using social media to do amazing things to bring about positive social change. In this project, students find an advocacy group on social media that inspires them and present what they learned to the class.

Fun Health Activities for High School

Julia barrus.

Health activities are one of the best methods for students to develop practical knowledge. The lessons they learn in health class will carry through into the real world in a way that's difficult to deny or forget. Many teachers stumble on some of the lessons they must teach in health class because they can be embarrassing and difficult to talk about. Nevertheless, with fun activities, laughter will build the bridge between embarrassment and knowledge.

Explore this article

Give half of the class slips of paper with diseases, some communicable and some not. Give the other half of the class activities they would engage in in real life. They do not have to do the activities, but they should understand the consequences of them. This activity will help them achieve that goal. Send the students to mingle with at least three other people and ask them questions. While they are mingling, they shouldn't reveal whether they are diseased or not until the interview is over. Have students switch partners at least three times. After students have interviewed or mingled and passed their diseases on, discuss the fallout of communicable diseases and how quickly they can spread.

2 From A to Z

Give students a chart with the letters A to Z. Ask them to fill the chart in with information they know about drugs. For example, they might write "addiction" for the letter A. After all squares have been filled in, ask students to classify the information into common knowledge and information the average person wouldn't know. This activity works best when students have some amount of prior knowledge going into the activity. It can be done with any subject matter, but lively conversations often spark from a chart filled with slang term and official terminology related to drugs.

3 Food Pyramid

Have students create a daily menu for a trip of their choice. The menu must include an appropriate amount of calories for a teenager and consider the activity level on the trip. For example, if students will take a hiking trip in the Costa Rican jungle, they should only eat food that will fuel hiking and exploring. The menu must include items from all levels of the food pyramid. This will give students a chance to explore their dietary needs and preferences while considering daily activity level as part of the equation.

6 Mental Health Activities for Students to Embed Mental Wellness into Classroom Culture for High School

Young people are experiencing an increase in depression at an alarming rate over the past couple of years, according to researchers at Columbia University. Looking to promote mental health awareness in your class community and provide students with effective methods to manage aspects of their mental health? Here are six mental health activities for students you can implement to generate stronger mental health awareness in your high school and middle school classrooms.

Activity 1: Open a Mental Health Dialogue

An open discussion in the classroom can evoke and promote mental health awareness amongst your students. If your students want to engage further into this topic, explore all our mental health and wellness resources . The programs discuss mental wellness as being just as important as physical wellness, and students can learn about self-care, healthy coping skills, and more.

Skill building for: Communication, Empathy

Activity 2: Provide Brain Breaks

Give your students a ‘brain break’ or a chance to sit quietly for a few minutes, close their eyes, do yoga, or meditate. This can give them a chance to “breathe” as they may be facing stress from school, home life, and jobs. This mental health activity allows students to put their minds to rest for a short while before they return to being solely focused on tasks and assignments. Alternatively, you can have a “Time In” where students can converse with each other for five minutes.

Skill building for: Stress Management

Activity 3: Stop the Stigma

After learning about social-emotional learning , have your students create colorful mini-posters with quotes on them that promote mental health awareness. Making art has been shown to lower stress levels, as supported by a research study conducted by art therapy professors at Drexel University. You can hang the posters around your classroom as a constant reminder for your students that mental health should not be stigmatized.

Skill building for: Creativity, Writing

Activity 4: Facilitate Mental Health Check-Ins

Give your students the opportunity to express how they’re presently feeling with a Mental Health Check- In. Check out this free Mental Health Check-In Poster that you can download, print, and hang in your classroom. This will give your students a chance to express how they feel and give you an idea of what emotions they may be experiencing that day. It has the added benefit of showing other students when they may be feeling low that they don’t need to face those times alone. The poster also includes detailed instructions on how to follow up with your students after this activity.

Skill building for: Communication

Activity 5: Create a Mood Tracker

Have your students draw out a personal mood tracker chart for the year, or you can download and print this free chart for them! They can choose which colors represent each mood. Encourage your students to fill in their daily mood with the corresponding color. Over time, they can analyze their tracker chart and reflect on how their mood and mental health changed throughout the year. Tracking moods and their fluctuation over time creates awareness, which makes students more effective managers of their moods.

Skill Building for: Stress Management

Activity 6: Write Positive Post-Its

Have your students encourage each other by writing positive messages on sticky notes that promote Mental Health awareness, such as “It gets better!”, and allow them to stick them on a designated bulletin board that every student can see when they come to school. The sticky notes will serve as a reminder that mental health should be discussed and that students themselves can take action to promote mental health awareness.

Skill building for: Empathy, Writing

Abbotsford High School hosts a mental health day for students

Austin Schindler

ABBOTSFORD, Wis. (WAOW) - Abbotsford High School gave kids a mental health day with activities to give them a break from studying to focus on their well-being.

School officials decided to put on multiple classes such as self-defense, yoga, and health classes to get more kids in touch with their mental health.

"We've had a tough month with snow days and with not being in school, but being at home," said Patrick Leichtnam, a school resource officer. "All those things build up, you know, mental heath wise, so this is just a good break at the end of the week."

The self-defense classes were put on by Fortitude Krav Maga, who came all the way from Neenah to make this happen.

The school saw the day as a success for students, and hopes to continue putting on events like this.
