Keeping Healthy Resources 

Here are some fun activities for you to do at home all about keeping healthy, see if you can remember any of the things we learnt from Jigsaw Jack about keeping healthy!! 

  Daily Activity Journal
Encourage your child to keep a daily journal showing how they have kept themselves active. Have they: gone for a walk; played in the garden; played with the ‘keeping active’ die; danced to their favourite songs; played in the garden? Keep a record of these to encourage your child to stay active and use their writing skills to record them.

The Human Body

Use the Human Body worksheet to talk about parts of the body. Children can cut out the word cards included in the pack and stick them around the human body outlines, with lines to show where each part of the body can be found. Alternatively, they could write the words themselves.

 Keeping Active Die

Use the keeping active die to keep your children active. Cut out the net and use glue or sticky tape to make a cube. Your child can then roll the die, and hold the pose shown on the uppermost face for a set amount of time (30 seconds or one minute). This could be completed outside or indoors.

 Keeping Healthy Activity Sheet

Use the worksheet to look at this with your child, identifying things in the pictures that they should do to keep themselves healthy (e.g. exercising, brushing their teeth and eating fruits and vegetables). They could sort the pictures to show which are healthy and unhealthy and then use this information to create a poster to share what they have learnt with other people.

 Scavenger Hunts

There are three scavenger hunts for you to try - including one where all the items can be found indoors. Ask your child to hunt for all the items on the list and tick them off once found.

There is a blank version, so that you can have fun creating your own scavenger hunt!
