Talking Points
Being healthy means taking care of our bodies and making good choices. When we eat nutritious food and exercise, we become strong and have lots of energy.
Exercises like jumping jacks, push-ups, and squats help to make our muscles stronger. They also make our hearts healthy and improve our balance and coordination.
Eating fruits, vegetables, and other healthy foods gives our bodies the vitamins and minerals they need to grow and stay strong.
When we're active and exercise regularly, our bodies release chemicals called endorphins that make us feel happy and reduce stress.
It's important to be aware of potential dangers around us. By doing a safety scavenger hunt, we can learn to identify hazards and take steps to avoid them.
Always remember to ask for help from a trusted adult if you come across something that doesn't seem safe.
