The Healthy Kids Out of School curriculum encourages physical activity and healthy eating habits. Over the course of this curriculum, participants will learn how to Snack Smart, Drink Right, and Move More. The lessons encourage fruits and vegetables for snacks, water as the beverage of choice, and new ways to increase active time to help kids reach the 60 minutes-a-day recommendation. The curriculum’s overarching objective is to encourage kids to establish a pattern of healthy eating and physical activity that they can replicate in other areas of their lives. The curriculum can be used in after-school programs, summer camps, childcare settings, and other extracurricular clubs or groups. The sessions were designed for 4th and 5th grade children, however modifications are suggested for older or younger kids. The curriculum is broken into 7 sessions that are 30-35 minutes in length. Each session outlines different activities designed to teach children healthy behaviors.
