 Kid’s Corner
https://www.nutrition.gov/topics/nutrition-age/children/kids-corner
What is it?
Kid’s Corner is a website by the US Department of
Agriculture made to teach children the importance of
nutrition by using interactive websites and games.
One this website you can search for nutrition by age
or by topics. Some of the topics included are
coronavirus pandemic and food, diet and health
conditions, dietary supplements, food assistant
programs, food safety, and many others. There is
also a cool section on shopping, cooking and meal
planning complete with lots of healthy recipes you
can make with a child.
Why is it great?
The Kid’s Corner has about 40 free resources for
teachers to use in their classrooms. It ranges from
science projects and online games to read alouds
and youtube videos. Teachers could print off the
worksheets, play videos to the whole class or the
their students learn through playing games. All of
these resources are super fun and will keep the
students engaged. My favorite was the breakfast
around the world article made for 6th graders. It
teaches about eating a balanced breakfast and
tells what food groups other cultures incorporate
into their diet.
 The Counseling Teacher
https://thecounselingteacher.com/2018/10/a-fun-way-to-discuss-student-hygiene.html

The counseling teacher is a teacher blog all about social emotional learning. She has resources on
teaching self regulation using books, body positivity, bullying, hygiene and many others. She also
has resources for self care tips for teachers which is just as important for yourselves as it is for
your students. Her different blog posts include information, videos, activities for the classroom and
often printable worksheets. There are also workbooks you can purchase to use over a semester
and brochures to keep in your classroom for students who may need them.
Hygiene is so important to teach in
the classroom because some
students might not learn these
skills at home. Taking care of
themselves by showering daily,
brushing their teeth and putting on
clean clothes may seem obvious
but some students just don’t know
how to. I really liked the board
game activity on The Counseling
Teacher blog. This board game can
be used in centers or small groups.
Students will laugh and learn
hygiene tips without feeling
singled out.
 TED Ed
https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-the-food-you-eat-affects-your-brain-mia-nacamulli#watch

TedEd is a website with many different video lessons. There are also lesson plans, assessments and discussion
topics that go with lessons. The lessons these websites offer can range from health, science, social studies,
and many other subject areas. These lessons and videos are useful for all kinds of learners. These videos are
good for visual and auditory learners and the assessments are beneficial for students who learn best through
reading/talking their ideas.
 I chose a video on
how food affects This could be incorporated into
your brain. It’s not a lesson when talking about

 We Are Teachers
https://www.weareteachers.com/11-fantastically-fun-childrens-books-that-teach-healthy-eating-habits/

We Are Teachers is a website
to give ideas and inspiration to
teachers. They have weekly
newsletters and many topics
and categories.
This website provides
teachers with classroom
ideas, career advice, free
printables and products to
buy.
One thing I really like about
this website is it give lots of
read aloud book ideas to use
in your classroom.
 I like the article about “17 Tasty Books
That Teach Kids About Nutrition and
Healthy Eating Habits”. When kids learn
about good nutrition and develop positive
attitudes about eating, it goes a long way
toward lifelong health. Plus, kids deserve
to learn about how good healthy eating
can feel—and taste! From trying new
foods, to learning to cook, to
understanding food allergies, there are
plenty of picture books to choose from
about nutrition and healthy eating habits
to share with kids.

 From this website I chose
an article that gives 20
healthy classroom party
snacks. Students need
energy to grow
academically, physically,
emotionally and socially.
Nutritious foods keep them
focused and ready to learn.
This article will help to
inform the parents of what
they should send with their
kids.
 This website has tons of awesome
resources for parents, teachers, kids and
the community. There are curriculum
booklets for purchase, a chat window with

topics. People can find lots of information
on milk and dairy, nutrition science,
general nutrition and wellness, and meal
https://www.healthyeating.org/products-and-act
planning. Let’s Eat Healthy has a really
ivities/games-activities/myplate
cool program called the Mobile Dairy
Classroom. Administrators can bring
agriculture literacy to their schools
through a fun assembly that will teach
where food comes from and how to make
healthy choices. Teachers can also take
their students on a virtual field trip at a
dairy farm tour or watch a variety of
informational videos.
 The really great part about Let’s Eat Healthy for a future teachers is the
games and activities tab. These free games and activities promote healthy
eating for children for grade kindergarten through high school. There are
quizlets and kahoots available for topics like classifying foods, key
nutrients, powering up your breakfast, sustainability, serving sizes, ect.
There is also a cool lesson plan on how to garden with a milk carton. My
favorite games are the MyPlate matching game. This will keep students
engaged while also testing their knowledge.
 The Homeschool Scientist
https://thehomeschoolscientist.com/food-journal-printable-kids/
What is it?
The Homeschool Scientist as you would guess
is a science website, it has tons of fun
experiments for all areas: chemistry, biology,
physics, botany, ect. Under the blog posts tab
you are able to find over 82 pages full of
teacher resources. There are fun holiday
themed activities for fall, math manipulative
resources, nature studies, homeschool
activities and a variety of many others.
Why is it great?
Without good food, children are prone to growth
and development problems, obesity, mental and
physical health issues and poor concentration. It
is so important to teach kids how to create
healthy eating habits and a great way to do this is
through a food journal. The Homeschool Scientist
offers a great food journal template for
educators. Food journals can help students to
track what they eat and drink in a day so they can
analyze their results, make adjustments and
create a healthier lifestyle.
 Goodnet
https://www.goodnet.org/articles/5-apps-that-encourage-kids-to-make-healthy-food-choices

Goodnet is a media platform that aims to

help people activate their goodness. It
gives information on how people can
enhance their wellness, spirituality,
personal growth, and relationships. It also
tells how to do good for the environment,
wildlife and animals. There are
organizations you can be a part of and lots
of volunteering opportunities. There is a
really cool article that gives apps that
encourages kids to make healthy food
choices.
 Goodnet gives an article of
healthy kids apps that explore the
world of food and nutrition in a
new way. Kids learn effectively
through technology and computer
games. From teaching how to
grow tomatoes to building
recipes, these apps can help your
students learn about food and
nutrition in an interactive and fun
way.
 Positive Choices
https://positivechoices.org.au/resources/

Positive Choices gives drug and alcohol information

so people can stay safe and stay smart. Resources
on this website are organized by type, such as
factsheets, videos and apps. There are factsheets on
all drugs: A to Z. There are classroom programs
focused on helping students develop skills to say no
to drugs and alcohol. This site has kid friendly videos
on how alcohol can affect your brain. Webinars for
professional development on what works and doesn't
work in regard to drug and alcohol prevention in the
classroom are also available. Their resources are all
evidence based which is great!
 A cool game the Positive Choices website offers is called Mouse Party. Here students can explore the
brains of mice affected by drugs to understand the impact. Schools play an important role in preventing
alcohol and other drug harm. Young people need to get the facts around drug use so they don’t believe
‘everyone else is doing it’, because the truth is, they aren’t. Although drug education is unlikely to prevent
every single young person from ever using alcohol or other drugs, it reduces the outcomes and is still so,
so important to teach.
 Inner Explorer
https://innerexplorer.org/experience.html

Inner Explorer is an audio-guided website that cultivates

social emotional learning. It teaches breathing, relaxation,
gratitude, focus, empathy, self-regulation and more.
Emotions in kids can be big and hard to understand,
teaching how to deal with them is important. Their
mission is to “make the daily practice of mindfulness
approachable and accessible for school communities”.
The are programs are divided into age groups to fit all
student’s needs.This is an evidence based program and
“research demonstrates that the use of Inner Explorer
resulted in 28% higher grades in reading, math and
science, a 43% decrease in teacher stress, and a 60%
decrease in behavioral issues”.
Inner Explorer has been used in several of
the elementary classrooms I have
substitute taught in. Students will come
in from lunch and recess, the lights will
be off and they have to either lay their
head down on their desk or close their
eyes and listen to the audio. There is soft
music and sounds playing while a
soothing voice talks to the students and
tells them what to do or think about. This
5-10 minutes of breathing really helps
them calm down and focus on the next
task at hand.

 Cosmic Kids
https://cosmickids.com/watch/

Cosmic Kids’ mission is to make mindfulness fun! This website provides themed yoga sessions for kids to do in
class and at home. They use stories, role-play and lots of silliness to make yoga and mindfulness engaging for
kids. “We're encouraging them to move and stretch their bodies - and squeezing in breathing, relaxation and
visualisation techniques along the way”, states cofounder Jaime Amor. Cosmic Kids videos are very easy to
access and speak to kids in a way that they can understand.

 The PE Shed
https://www.thepeshed.com/pe-game-ideas

The PE Shed has lots of resources, games and

ideas to help make PE simple, fun and
engaging.Within each section there are a whole
range of different games which will excite and
challenge students. For example, the PE Game
Ideas section on the website provides Physical
Education resources that can help you plan PE
Warm Up Games, PE Tag Games, PE Thinking
Games, and PE Coordination Games. Each PE
Game outlines what equipment is required, how
to set the game up, how to play the game and
how to differentiate the game. Lots of these
resources are also free!
 The PE Shed’s resources are great
because they were created in the
classroom/gym and have been tested on
real students! The majority of these
activities can also be adapted for all ages.
Even if you aren’t going to be a Physical
Education teacher, PE Shed has also
created Active Reading Comprehensions
which allows you to integrate PE with
literacy and reading lessons. There are
also lots of videos for students to stay
active at home.
 SHAPE America
https://www.shapeamerica.org/publications/resources/teachingtools/teachertoolbox/Teachers_Toolbox_E
lementary_PE.aspx
What is it?
SHAPE America stands for Society of Health and Physical
Educators. They are working to prepare children to lead
healthy, physically active lives. This website provides
programs, resources and advocacy that support an
inclusive, active and healthier school culture. In the
Teacher Toolbox there are resources for Hot Topics in
Health and PE, Adapted PE, Early Childhood, Elementary,
Secondary, Coaching and Health Education.

Why is it great?
SHAPE America’s resources align exactly with the National PE and Health standards making that activities very easy to
implement. The adaptive PE section is also great because the activities have been modified so it is appropriate for
students with disabilities. Under IDEA all students with an IEP should receive effective physical education services,
many websites do not provide specific activities for these children. There is also a section on transgender inclusion
which is importans so all students have an opportunity to enjoy physical education and athletics in a safe and
respectful climate
 This treasure Island lesson plan is a
game designed for grades 3-5. There are
several accommodations listed for
students with disabilities.

 This website is great because it has a
whole “fit” library. There is fitBoost,
fitWorkout, fitFlow, fitSports, ect. All of
them include fun easy ways to incorporate
movement into the classroom. Exercise is
great for the body and brain. My favorite
resource is the printable fitBoost
Movement Cards. These cards are cheap
and easy to store. They get students up
and moving to reset and recharge their
minds. Students can draw a card,
complete the activity and it only take a
couple of minutes!
 Classrooms in
Motion
https://classroomsinmotion.com/activities/
This page offers a variety of research about
physical activity and its association with learning,
behavior, and measures of academic performance.
Classrooms in Motion works to increase the
opportunities students have for physical activity
engagement throughout the school day, such as
short classroom breaks or incorporating physical
activity directly into academic lessons. They offer
lots of tips on implementation for your classroom
and the whole school. Adding or increasing physical
activity for students benefits their health, well-being,
and readiness to learn. Implementing consistent
activity can also help with classroom management
issues.
 This website is unique because it offers a list of activities that
incorporate movement that are geared toward secondary and
post-secondary students. College professors often give lectures to
present information when college students may enjoy and benefit more
from active learning strategies. “The transition from high school to
college represents the sharpest decline in physical activity across the
lifespan. College students report almost 30 hours per week of sedentary
time, primarily a result of studying.” Classrooms in Motion offers
resources for teachers and professors to work to engage in movement
and peer collaboration during class. This will enhance learning,
comprehension, and academic achievement.
 S&S Blog: Play. Learn. Share.
https://www.ssww.com/blog/category/pe-central/

S&S Blog posts many fun resources like

holiday themed PE games, traditional sports
game variations, physical activities to do at
home over break, and many more. There are
also professional development resources for
PE teachers to improve their teaching
techniques. If someone isn’t a PE teacher
there are many helpful ideas for core subjects,
special need students, STEM & Makerspace,
fun crafts and even senior citizens.
 One aspect of S&S Blog that I thought would be great to use in a classroom are
their monthly printable fitness challenge calendars. It’s important to
encourage kids to stay active and lead a healthy lifestyle, whether they are at
home or in school. This calendar can easily be shared with students to take
home and they can do the challenge independently or they could it as a group in
the classroom. Each week, the number of repetitions for each fitness exercise
increases. The student can also fill out the fitness challenge task sheet. They
record what exercises they did and put a check mark in the completed box if
they completed the number of reps on the calendar. There is also a
self-assessment section which is great for social emotional learning. After
students complete the calendar they will receive a certificate.
 PBS Kids
https://pbskids.org/arthur/health/fitness/

What is it?
PBS Kids has lots of games, books, apps and
videos of kids cartoons shown on TV. For
parents there are tips on raising children.
However, I included this resource because
there is a section on family health. There are
sections on asthma, peanut allergies, nutrition,
resilience and fitness.
live healthy lifestyles they will be influenced to do it
Why is it great?
This family health section is designed around the
popular show Arthur to engage kids. There are
videos, games, quizzes, and basic information
available. PBS Kids states, “Like kids everywhere,
Arthur and his friends sometimes struggle with
watching too much TV and not getting enough
exercise. Here are some resources to help you and
your family understand the basics of staying fit —
and inspire your kids to get and stay healthy too!”
When children see that their character role models
too.
 Go Noodle
https://www.gonoodle.com/
GoNoodle helps teachers and parents get
kids moving with short interactive video
activities. Teachers can create class
profiles to track progress and challenge
others. GoNoodle doesn’t have direct
lessons, instead it would better be used as
a brain break activity in class. There are
many videos that are created by child
development experts and kids follow along
to get up and moving. Just getting up for a
couple minutes in between subjects helps
kids achieve more by keeping them
engaged, focused and motivated
throughout the day.
 Go Noodle is great because the
movements the students do in the
videos benefit physical wellness,
academic success and
social-emotional health. The
videos appeal to kids of different
ages, interest, skills, and abilities.
Students participating in the
activities or the videos fuels the
learning process by using
movement to become focused and
ready to learn. This website can be
used in school or at home.
 OPEN
https://openphysed.org

OPEN stands for Online Physical Education Network.

This website has many resources for physical education
activities for preschool through 8th grade. You can find
lessons, as well as tools to help you teach. One thing I
found interesting on this website is that it has
curriculum modules to help introduce children to
different lessons and units including basketball skills,
yoga, dance, ball and bat games and many other units.
There is also a place to find activities for winter, which
can be a great resource for living in the Midwest
 I really like the activities that OPEN provides.
One of my favorites is a yoga and mindfulness
activity. Students will do some activity to
increase their heart rate and then do breathing
exercises to lower their heart rate. This is a
great break in the classroom to get energy out
and then focus on breathing to calm them down
and bring them back to work.

Brenna: PE/Health
Healthy vs. Unhealthy Tic Tac Toe
1. Teach about healthy foods, “Healthy foods are good for your body, they help you grow and become strong. Eating a variety of foods
keeps our meals interesting and flavorful. Try to fill half of your plate with colorful vegetables and fruits and split the other half between
whole grains and healthy protein. Each food has a unique mix of nutrients that is fuel for our body. Just like a car needs gas to go, our
bodies need food to think, play and move. When we fill up our “tanks” with healthy food options, our energy levels soar and our brains
are ready to work.”
2. Ask them to list some healthy or unhealthy foods that they know. “Healthy foods are fruits, vegetables, protein, grains, and dairy. Most
grow from the ground or are from an animal. Unhealthy foods have lots of sugar and are processed or made in a factory.”
3. We will then begin the game. Start by splitting the students into two even teams.
4. “We will be playing tic tac toe. One team will be X’s and the other will be O’s” Give the stack of X’s and O’s to each team.
5. “The first person in each team will need to run down to the halfway line where you see all of the food. You will then need to search
through the group of items and pick out a picture of healthy food. After you have a healthy food put your X or O over top of it and run
down to the end line with the hula hoops. Once you get to the end line, place your paper in the hula hoop you want for tic tac toe. Then
run back as fast as you can and tag the next person in your line”
6. “The next person will do the same thing. Your goal is to race the other team to get 3 X’s or O’s in a row in order to win. However, if you
pick out an unhealthy food, it will not count and a team member will have to go again.”
7. Address any questions the students may have
8. Play the game once or twice depending on how long it takes.
9. “While you are resting we are going to discuss some of the effects on your body if you eat unhealthy foods all of the time. When you fill
your body with processed, sugary foods you will not have the energy you need. You will feel tired all of the time and your brain won't be
as active in school. The unhealthy foods may drag you down so it is difficult to do exercise and you will feel more tired. We are now
going to play the game again with our unhealthy food belt on. You will feel what it is like to exercise if you have been eating unhealthy
foods all the time.”
10. “The rules will all be the same as last time but now you will be wearing the belt around your waist. The person behind you will be holding
on to the band and slightly pulling back on it to give you some resistance. Once the first person gets back to the line, they will take off
the band and give it to the person who was holding it, they will put it on and the next person will be pulling it back.”
11. After the game each student will need a sticky note. On the sticky note they will need to write 4 things. (1) their name, (2) a healthy food,
(3) unhealthy food, (4) one way unhealthy foods can affect your body
Allie: Health/LA
Sugar Bug Book
1. To get students attention teacher will do a clap pattern for students to repeat
2. Students will listen to the book Where the Sugar Bugs Live on the iPad. Dr. Paul reads "Where the Sugar
Bugs Live" - YouTube
3. After listening to the book, students will take turns picking a card from the pile and answer the question
on it.
4. They can pick questions based on the color that shows the difficulty. Green will indicate easy level, yellow
will be medium difficulty, and red will be difficult. This will allow students to pick based on their ability.
The conversation cards will have Spanish translation for ELL student.
Rebekah: Math/PE
Math-ketball
1. “Today we are going to practice our addition and subtraction by throwing a ball into a bucket. Can anyone remind me how we throw the ball
underhand?”
2. Allow a few people to demonstrate.
3. “That is correct. We step with the opposite foot and throw the ball.”
4. “I am going to split you into two teams. Each team will have a bucket, ball, dice, piece of paper, and pencil. One of the team members will go
at a time.”
5. The first person will roll the dice. Whatever number the dice lands on is how many times that person will be able to throw the ball into the
bucket. I want you to keep track of how many times you made the ball in the bucket.”
6. “You will throw the ball behind the blue line. If you step in front of the line and make it, that throw counts as a miss.”
7. “Once you have thrown the ball the number that the dice said, then you will write the number you rolled minus the number that you made and
that will equal the number that you missed.”
8. “Write the number of times that you made it in the bucket on the other sheet of paper. On that sheet of paper, you will keep track of the
number of makes that the entire team made.”
9. “Does anyone have any questions at this time?” Allow students to ask questions
10. “After the first person is done, the next team member will do the exact same steps.”
11. “You will continue to do those steps for six minutes.”
12. “Does anyone have any final questions before we begin?”
13. Allow students to ask questions then split students into groups
14. “Okay, we are going to begin. I will begin once everyone is in their groups, and you are behind your team's line.”
15. Begin the time once the teams are behind their lines and call out when they only have a minute left.
16. “Time is up. Your team will add all of your numbers together.” Allow the teams to add their numbers together.
17. “Now that both teams have added the numbers together, the entire group will create a subtraction problem using those two numbers.” Allow
the students to make the subtraction problem and complete it.
18. “We are going to complete a 10 questions quiz. The quiz has 5 addition problems and 5 subtraction problems. Once you are done with the
quiz, you can do our breathing exercises to relax your brain before moving on to the next station.”
19. Hand out the quiz. Allow all the students time to complete the quiz.
20. When everyone is done, do the breathing exercises until it is time to move to the next station.
Ashlyn: Science/Health
Toothtastic!
1. Explain how eggshells are similar to teeth!
a. calcium is the outside of our teeth that protects our teeth from damages
b. damages include (candy, sugary drinks, bacteria)
2. Show class what the egg looks like before it is exposed to sugary drinks.
3. Show the class what the egg looks like when it is soaked in the base for 24 hours. They will see
that the egg soaked in water was not affected because it was not exposed to the sugary drink.
4. The students will fill out their predictions sheet and make their guesses on what will happen to
the eggs soaked in: milk, powerade, vinegar, coke, and juice.
5. Once everyone has made their predictions, I will show them the eggs that have been soaked in
the drinks for 24 hours. This is where they will see how their teeth are affected by the drinks.
6. By a raise of hands, I will have the class decide on 2 different eggs to brush with the
toothbrush.
7. I will ask a volunteer to come up and show the class how easy/difficult it is to brush off the
outside of the eggs with a toothbrush and toothpaste.
