Clean hands, happy tummies, strong bodies
In preschool, health and nutrition is all about healthy habits kids can do themselves. They learn to wash their hands with soap, brush their teeth, and move their bodies every day. They name fruits and vegetables, sort "every day" foods from "sometimes" foods, and talk about why water is a great drink. They also learn that sleep helps their bodies grow. The click comes when a child heads to the sink before snack without being reminded, humming the handwashing song!
Little kids learn healthy habits through songs, movement and lots of practice. Here's what works for us.
Play a handwashing song at the sink so kids scrub until the music ends. Soon they sing it on their own. A song turns a chore into a routine kids actually enjoy.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).
Try it withWash My Hands SongSongsOpen it →Flash fruit picture cards at circle time and have kids name each one and its color. Then ask, "Who has tasted this?" Talking about real foods makes kids more willing to try new ones.
Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).
Try it withFruit Flash CardsFlash CardsOpen it →Hold up food pictures and have kids jump if it's an every day food and sit if it's a sometimes food. Keep it positive. No food is bad, some are just for special times.
Why it works: in a well-known study, a few short sessions of a simple number board game measurably boosted young children's number skills (Ramani and Siegler, 2008).

Preschool health usually covers handwashing, brushing teeth, healthy foods, staying active, sleep and staying safe. The focus is on simple habits kids can do every day.
Show each step: wet, soap, scrub, rinse, dry. Have them scrub for about 20 seconds, the length of a short song. Practice before every meal and after using the bathroom.
Offer small tastes without pressure, and let them help wash or prepare the food. Talking about colors and textures and reading books about food can make new foods less scary.
Yes! Songs give kids an easy way to remember the steps and how long to do them. A handwashing or toothbrushing song quickly becomes part of the routine.
