Supporting children and families to lead healthy lives
Music is a fantastic way to engage kids in learning. The fun, funky songs on the Boogie Mites Healthy Living Programme are easy-to-learn and will help you to involve children and families in developing the healthy habits that they can benefit from for the rest of their lives.
The Boogie Mites Healthy Living CD and teacher notes are supported with online resources including song lyrics, craft activities plus details of books and websites that support the Healthy Living theme.
Using the Boogie Mites Healthy Living CD, teacher notes and online resources you can encourage children and families to:
Eat Well: Did you know that when we eat foods from all the colour groups, we are getting the optimum range of vitamins from our fruit and veg? The song 'Rainbow on my plate' helps us to think about the different colours of the fruit and veg that we enjoy eating. Families can use it to make shopping fun as children enjoy searching for food that can make a rainbow on their plate when they get home. 'Yummy Yummy Yummy' is a fantastic, catchy song that you can sing at mealtimes or snack times to help children choose their favourite healthy foods to eat. Children will also benefit from developing their language skills as they learn to clap out word rhythms.
Move More: Our action song 'Lets go to the park' will get the whole family moving and thinking about fun active things to do outside.
Grow Your Own: Our foot tapping number 'Watch it Grow' takes you through the process of growing a green bean from seed.
Recycle: 'Dan the Can' explains how a drinks can can be recycled and will get everyone singing along. Play it in the car on the way to the recycling centre!
Relax: Kids can get tired and stressed just like we can. So introduce them to the calming benefits of yoga with the magical 'Happy cat sad cat'. Meet lions, frogs and butterflies and end up feeling calm and relaxed.
