Healthy Harold Mix & Match
Wednesday, 15 Nov 2023
This fun activity will assist students to better understand the nutritional benefits of calcium-rich foods for their growing bodies.
This Australian Curriculum linked printable resource developed by Life Ed and Dairy Australia is suitable for students in grades F-2* . Students will match an essential vitamin or mineral to a part of a Harold’s body.
This activity could be a warm up activity – or something fun in the middle of a session or used to assess a student’s prior- or post- knowledge.
NB – Students are encouraged to practise their dotted or dashed lines and use pencils as the first guess.
Follow-Up activities and ideas for older students:
1. Check out the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating:
2. Find out what else these minerals and vitamins do in the body! There are also another five more nutrients (at least) in milk which has led to it being called a ‘superfood’! https://www.dairy.com.au/dairy-matters/you-ask-we-answer/what-nutrients-are-in-milk
*(AC9HPFP06) Foundation students…learn to identify health symbols, messages and strategies in their community that support their health and safety.
*(AC9HP2P06) Years 1 and 2 students…investigate a range of health messages and practices in their community and discuss their purposes.
