Notes:

Possible Modifications: Have the groups be a single

color so it is harder to remember which steps send a
group member back. If a child is unable to read, let
them pick a group member to go along side with them.
Lesson Review:
Ask the class: Which type of choices sent you all the
way to the beginning? Unhealthy choices.
Which ones made you do an exercise but allowed you
to keep going? Ones that could be considered
unhealthy if you didnt keep them in moderation.
What type of choices allowed you to just keep going?
Healthy choices!
