Strong bodies, smart choices
Third graders start asking why. Why do I catch a cold? (Germs spread from person to person, so hand washing matters.) Why do I need to brush? (Sugar feeds bacteria that cause tooth decay.) Why does my leg cramp after running? They learn how exercise, sleep, water and balanced meals keep bodies working, and they read about kids making healthy and not-so-healthy choices. The click is when a student explains to a friend why they should wash their hands before lunch.
Third graders love the why behind the habit. These moves give them answers.
Start with a question kids actually wonder about, like "Why do I have a cold?" Read a short passage together and have kids find the answer in the text. Then they teach it to a younger buddy.

Germs and illness, dental health, nutrition and balanced meals, exercise and muscles, sleep and the five senses. Kids learn the reasons behind healthy habits.
