Healthy Living Pack

The Healthy Living Pack is a resource pack that helps children aged 3 to 7 learn about keeping healthy through fun activities. It was created in partnership with Eco-Schools, so it fits neatly into the work many schools are already doing on caring for ourselves and the world around us.

Children explore the simple idea that looking after our bodies and minds is part of living well, and that healthy choices and a healthy planet go hand in hand. The pack supports the global goal of Good Health and Well-being, and it gives young learners a friendly way to start talking about what keeps them feeling their best.

Parents and teachers can use the pack as a ready-made starting point for a healthy living topic at home or in the classroom. Before beginning, try asking, "What do you do to keep your body healthy?" Once the activities are done, ask children to name one healthy habit they would like to try this week, then talk about how they got on a few days later. Younger children can answer by drawing or acting out their idea, while older ones might enjoy making a simple class or family poster of their favourite healthy habits.

It works well for circle time, a themed week, an Eco-Schools project or a quiet afternoon at home, and the activities can be shared across a group or tackled one at a time.
