Instead of bringing your Ss to a grocery store, bring the grocery store to them! This is an interactive grocery store that allows students to select any item and see the nutrition label and ingredients within that product. You can use it to create a grocery store challenge where students have to put together a meal or find healthier options within each category. It allows them to not only have the literacy part of food labels but also challenges them to evaluate the nutritional aspect of each item. This interactive game can be played when teaching a lesson on healthy nutrition.
As with most skills, it’s best to start teaching goal setting early. Although parents are perhaps the best source of skill-building and development for their children, it’s vital to have some goal setting material in the school curriculum as well. Learning how to set goals in school and seeing goal setting modeled by peers and teachers is a great way to encourage effective goal setting in children.
At the high school level, goal setting gets a bit easier to teach, but not necessarily easier to learn and implement for the students. High school brings with it all kinds of distractions that can make setting good goals a challenge.
This resource includes downloadable worksheets and powerpoints. Additionally, by using the activities and worksheets you can help your older students navigate effective goal setting.
Students will test their problem-solving skills in this NASA Pipeline Challenge. In this activity, students will work in groups of ten to test their ability to use communication positively to contribute collaboratively to a team goal. Give each participant one short length of half pipe and challenge the group to deliver a ball down the pipeline from the starting point to the finish line. A successful pipeline team-building activity requires participating groups to exercise excellent communication, creativity, and teamwork. This activity can be used as a culminating lesson to assess students’ understanding of the relationship between the speed of an object to the energy of that object or as a team-building exercise.

This activity is designed to show students how difficult it can be to make healthy food choices and to help them understand the nutritional information available for a variety of foods. This activity can be done at the start of a nutrition unit. It was developed after the author realized that many students had no idea how to make good food choices or how to interpret nutritional information. Many students are keen to adopt or maintain a healthy active lifestyle, yet neglect to ensure that they are eating from all the food groups and that they are consuming nutritious food that is beneficial to them.
This resource is a lesson outline and video demonstration focusing on the skills of kicking, trapping, bowling, and rolling skills. This resource also includes teaching tips to help keep students engaged throughout the lesson.

In this activity, students are in circle formation, facing in. Each stands in a wide straddle stance with the side of the foot against the neighbor's. The hands are on the knees. Two balls are used. The object of the game is to roll one of the balls between the legs of another player before he can get his hands down to stop the ball. Each time a ball goes between the legs of an individual, a point is scored. The players having the fewest points scored against them are the winners. Keep the circles small so students have more opportunities to handle the ball. Players must catch and roll the ball, rather than batting it. Children must keep their hands on their knees until a ball is rolled at them.
Type "circle straddle ball" into the search field to find the activity.
The purpose of this activity is to help students with their underhand rolling skills and then integrate it into an activity.
