Hi boys and girls!

After you have watched the programme, keep the adventure going with this week’s Children’s Own activities. There are games to play, pictures to colour, challenges to complete, and lots of opportunities to become a Healthy Hero at home.

Don’t miss Children’s Own Watch & Win every Monday and Thursday at 6:00 p.m. on TVJ.

Healthy Hero Hunt

Look carefully at the picture and find someone practicing each of these healthy habits. When you spot one, colour it!

Can you find someone:

Drinking water?

Riding a bicycle?

Eating fruit?

Brushing their teeth?

Exercising?

Washing their hands?

Healthy Hero of the Week

Who is your Healthy Hero? It could be someone who takes care of you, encourages you, or inspires you to make healthy choices. Write their name, tell us who they are, draw a picture of them, and share what makes them special to you. Then give your Healthy Hero a star by choosing one word that describes them.

Make It With Us!

It is time to get creative! Grab your supplies and make today’s craft alongside our hosts.

Build a Balanced Plate Wheel

Before We Start…

“Grab these items from around your house and create with us!”

You will need:

· A paper plate (or plate outline)

· Coloured paper or magazine cut-outs of food

· Glue

· Scissors (with an adult’s help)

· Markers or crayons

Let’s Make It!

1. Divide the plate into four sections.

2. Cut out or draw fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins.

3. Glue each food picture into its matching section.

4. Decorate the plate border like a Healthy Hero shield.

5. Hold up your finished balanced plate and admire your work!

Throughout the activity, the hosts encourage healthy choices and remind children that every balanced plate looks different — and that is okay.
