This project has been funded with support from the European Commission. This publication reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission can not be held responsible for any use, which may be made of the information contained therein.

Foreword The present booklet containing 19th lesson plans designed by the institutions in the Comenius partnership "HEALTHY CHILDHOOD, BEAUTIFUL LIFE" is the result of the sustained efforts, discussions and reflections of the project's well-equipped teaching staff.

It is worth mentioning that through this material, of considerable value, we intended to inspire the new generation of young teachers by offering them a burst of creativity.

The strategies upon which we all agreed are considered amongst the most innovative and worthy to be part of any teacher's methodological kit. These are: analysis experience, drama, role-play, etc.

The publication of this booklet has been made possible with the Comenius project “Healthy childhood, beautiful life”, implemented by ”Anton Pann” School from Braila, Romania, Colegio Infanta Elena- La Orotava, Spain, Münevver Öztürk Ortaokulu- Ankara, Turkey, Escola Dr. Horácio Bento Gouveia, - Funchal, Portugal, Základní škola T.G.Masaryka Šardice, okres Hodonín, příspěvková organizaceŠardice, Czech Republic, Niepubliczne Gimnazjum Keglik - Środa Wielkopolska, Poland, Istituto Comprensivo " Manzoni "- Mottola, Italy and financed by the European Commission through the Lifelong Learning Programme.

Activities that were carried out during in 2013 - 2015 had an interdisciplinary approach: Mini olimpiadă - traditional sports games, Ebru technique painting, workshops, realization of posters illustrating the theme of the project, making commercials with specific messages, mountaineering, making posters theme theme trips,drama, role play, exploring nature, visiting a recycling plant at the bakery factory to a production greenhouse with strawberry and red bio, all reflecting the healthy, harmonious, friendly and responsible people live in partner countries. We tried to develop this project in our children a healthy lifestyle through sport thirst of knowledge, music, dance, food, play, affection, and later, as adults, to live in harmony with all life.

Why healthy childhood? Because, as Francesco Oren said tano "Childhood is the stream of water that flows clear and clean and finished the depths to which humanity runs ceaselessly to satisfy the thirst of his ideals of love, kindness, beauty, perfection".

Why beautiful life? Because, we quote, ”A child can learn anytime an adult three things: how to be happy without reason, how not ever stand still and how to press for what he wants. "- Paulo Coelho.

LESSON PLAN Children Age: 13 Class: 3^ Name of Lesson: My Favourite Breakfast Food Getting ready: Objectives: 1. The children will be introduced to a variety of breakfast foods.

2. The children will understand why their bodies need breakfast every day.

3. The children will share their favourite breakfast foods with one another.

4. The children will be introduced to breakfast meal planning by choosing foods from a variety of food groups to make up a breakfast meal.

5. The children will be encouraged to taste a variety of breakfast foods.

Points to Emphasize 1. Breakfast should include a variety of different foods and beverages chosen from a variety of the five food groups (grains, fruits, vegetables, low-fat milk, meat/ beans) – for example, whole grain breads and cereals, eggs, beans, lean meats, low-fat milk, low-fat yogurt, fruits, vegetables, 100% fruit and vegetable juices, peanut butter, and so on. (See Teacher Information for further information on the five food groups.)

2. Breakfast is one of the most important meals to eat during the day.

Material and procedural resources 1. Chart paper 2. Graph Paper 3. Hole Punch 4. Scissors 8. String

5. Art Supplies 6. Drawing paper 7. Tape

Comenius project ”Healthy childhood, beautiful life” – good practices

STEP Gather children around the picture of the clock on the piece of chart paper. Ask children what time the clock shows. Ask:  What meal do we eat at this time of the day?  Why do we eat breakfast?  What is one example of a meal that people eat for breakfast?

Procedure: Invite children to draw a picture of one of their favourite breakfast foods and write the name of the food. Then, have children take their food pictures and sit around the poem that is displayed on chart paper. Explain to children that there are many different kinds of foods to eat for breakfast and that not all of us eat the same foods. Emphasize that a variety of foods can be eaten for breakfast. Read the poem aloud to children, using your finger to point to the words as you read. Then, allow children to take turns inserting their favourite breakfast foods in the poem.

Using children’s favourite breakfast foods, set up a graph to represent the data. Draw a graph on a board by writing the names of the five food groups – grains, fruits, vegetables, low-fat milk products, and meat & beans on the board. Have each child place their food picture under the appropriate food group.

When all children have added their foods, discuss the graph. Explain to children that when deciding what to eat for breakfast, it is important to choose a variety of foods from the five different food groups in order to get all of the vitamins and minerals their bodies need. Describe some examples of what foods could be chosen to make up a diverse breakfast. As you describe some of the different breakfast combinations, help children identify the food group that each food comes from. Invite children to brainstorm other combinations of breakfast foods using the flashcards to help them with their selections.

Emphasize how breakfast is a fun meal to eat because there are so many foods to choose from.

STEP Eating breakfast is a smart thing to do.

It helps you to grow, think and play, too. ______ is my favourite breakfast food Eating it always puts me in a happy mood!

1. What does this graph tell us?

2. What would be a good name for this graph?

3. How many children have a favourite breakfast food from the grain food group?

What is one of your favourite foods to eat for breakfast? Why? What food group is it from?

What are the names of the five food groups?

Why is it important to eat a combination of different foods for breakfast?

Why is it important to eat breakfast?

Why is eating breakfast a fun thing to do?

Extension Activity: Do You Recognize This Breakfast Food?

Explain to children that every week, you are going to be able to try children’s favourite breakfast foods. Invite children to write down their favourite breakfast food on a strip of paper. At the end of each week, place the paper strips into a box or other container and mix them up. Choose one of the strips and then instruct children or ask parents to contribute the food so everyone can try it. When possible, you may be able to get the food from the school food service department. As children try the different foods, talk about how the food looks, smells, tastes, feels, and sounds when they eat it.

Review the importance of eating breakfast every morning to help their bodies grow and be strong, and to have the energy and nutrition they need to run, play, think and learn every day.

Ask them to write a few sentences describing why eating these foods together would be a fun thing to do and to write one breakfast goal. When children are done, bind pages together to create a Class Breakfast book. Let children take turns sharing the book at home. Celebrate the “publication” of the book by holding a class breakfast party.

Safety Note: This lesson suggests a food tasting. Some children may be allergic to certain foods or ingredients of foods such as nuts. Before serving or having any of these foods near children, be sure to ask parents for a list of any food allergies that children may have.

Be sure to examine the ingredient lists of breakfast foods before serving them to children.

Food is important because it helps children grow and develop, and can help set a foundation for good health. Foods provide fuel and nutrients that growing children need.

It is important for children to eat every meal and not to skip meals. One of the most important meals is breakfast.

This lesson focuses on the introduction to a variety of breakfast foods that can be eaten for breakfast. Because children do not have discretion over everything they eat, the focus is to introduce children to the variety of breakfast foods and beverages that are available. It is also intended to encourage children to try a variety of foods and

Comenius project ”Healthy childhood, beautiful life” – good practices

beverages, and to explore the uniqueness of different foods from each of the five food groups using their five senses. Many breakfast foods and beverages are high in a variety of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients (for example, foods such as whole grains are high in fibre). Fruits and vegetables, including 100% fruit and vegetable drinks, are high in vitamins and minerals, low in fat and high in fibre. Low-fat milk products contain the same amount of vitamins and minerals and less fat than whole milk products. All breakfast foods can be eaten in moderation. The Pyramid Food Guidance System provides specific recommendations for making food choices to improve the quality of an average diet. The recommendations in this framework fall under four overall themes:  Variety – eat foods from all food groups and subgroups. This shows that foods from all food groups are needed each day for good health.  Proportionality –This is shown on the Pyramid by the different widths of the food group bands. The widths suggest how much food a person should choose from each group.  Moderation – Choose forms of foods that limit intake of saturated or trans fats, added sugars, cholesterol, salt, and alcohol. This is represented on the Pyramid by the narrowing of each food group section from bottom to top. The wider base stands for foods with little or no solid fats or added sugars. These should be selected from more often. The narrower top stands for foods containing more added sugars and solid fats. The more active you are, the more of these foods can fit into your diet.  Activity – be physically active every day.

Some Breakfast Ideas  1/2 English muffin, and 1 cup 100% orange juice (grain, meat & beans, fruit)  1 cup whole grain cereal, 1/2 cup blueberries and 1 cup low fat or skim milk (grain, fruit, and milk)  1 buttermilk waffle with 1/2 cup low-fat yogurt, 1/2 small sliced banana or peaches, and 1 cup low-fat milk (grain, fruit, milk)  1 small whole wheat tortilla, 1/2 cup (1%) cottage cheese, 1/4 cup beans and 1 cup 100% fruit or vegetable juice or 1/4 cup salsa (grain, milk, meat & beans, fruit or vegetable)  1 cup low-fat plain yogurt, 1/2 cup low-fat granola, 1 cup applesauce (milk, grain, fruit)  1 cup of hot cereal cooked, with 1/2 sliced apple and 2 Tbsp raisins, 1 cup lowfat milk (grain, fruit, and milk)  Toasted cheese sandwiches on whole wheat bread, with 1 cup sliced strawberries (grain, milk, fruit) Check the lesson ahead of time to determine what food supplies you will need. In general, you can make substitutions for the foods suggested in the lesson. You can also use the tasting as an opportunity to have the students try breakfast foods from a variety of cultures and cuisines. It may be helpful to ask a few parents to assist you by sending in the specified foods on specific days.

Explain that today we will be discussing healthy drinks. Students will learn why they need to be concerned with what types of beverages they consume.

They will also find out how to determine much sugar is in some common beverages.

2. If this is not the first lesson with the group, review the previous lesson.

3. Icebreaker:  Have each student state their favorite drink and if they think their drink is healthy or unhealthy. Record the results on the board.  Discuss facts and myths about sugar and health. Read the following statements about sugar and health. Have students guess if the statement is a fact or myth.

True:  Sugar in large amounts can cause you to gain too much weight  Sugar can contribute to cavities in the teeth False:  Sugar causes diabetes  Sugar causes children to become hyperactive  Sugar causes heart attacks 4. Alternate Icebreakers:  Drinks Word Search  Which milk is healthier? worksheet  Guess the sugar amount worksheet B. Developmental: 1. Introduce topic of choosing healthy drinks. Explain that what students choose to drink is just as important as what they eat. Beverages can provide excess calories and sugar, which can lead to weight gain and cavities. We need to choose the right types of beverages to keep our bodies healthy.

2. Discuss how to tell the difference between a healthy drink and a less healthy drink by using the food label as a guide. Show students where to find the sugar content and serving size of the beverage on the food label. Explain that sugar is contained within many foods, including drinks. We may be eating and drinking more sugar than we think. Let’s take a look at how much sugar is in each drink.

Comenius project ”Healthy childhood, beautiful life” – good practices

3. Explain to students that they are about to become “nutrition experts” in choosing healthy drinks.

4. Activity: How much sugar is in my soda? a. Distribute the “How much sugar is in my soda” handout. Go over this together with the students as an example. Write on board: 4gm sugar= 1 teaspoon of sugar. Have students find the grams of sugar and the servings per container on the label. Multiply these numbers to get the total grams of sugar for the whole bottle or can. Then have the students divide that number of grams of sugar by 4 to get number of teaspoons of sugar.

Have a student volunteer help measure out the amount of sugar in the soda in front of the class. b. Now you can have the students do the same calculation with their own drinks. Distribute the empty demonstration bottles/cans to the students.

Have the students work in groups to see if they can calculate how much sugar is in these other drinks. c. Give each group a clear cup so they can measure out the teaspoons of sugar in their drink once they have finished the calculation. Remind the students that if they drink more than one bottle or can of the beverage, they will consume even more sugar. d. Compare and discuss results with the rest of the class. Each group can designate a recorder who will record the information and a spokesperson who will report the information to the rest of the class. e. Which drinks have the most sugar? Which have the least sugar? Explain that milk and 100% fruit juice do have sugar, but it is natural sugar. They also contain more vitamins and minerals, which makes them healthier choices. Soda, fruit drinks and sport drinks have added sugar and usually have no vitamins or minerals. Explain that many of us consume much more sugar than we think especially if we are drinking more than one of these high sugar drinks each day. f. Ask students if they think they can switch to a healthier drink option such as milk, 100% juice, water or flavored water.

V. Conclusion of lesson: A. Distribute hand wipes.

B. Provide each student with a food tasting and encourage him or her to make small changes in his or her diet now. Explain why this food is a healthy option.

C. Distribute the reinforcement, read the message and/or explain the reason why they are receiving a reinforcement.

D. Thank the students for their participation and answer any questions the students have.

LESSON PLAN Class: junior-high school classes Age: 13-16 Lesson: lesson with a form teacher Time: 45 minutes Topic: Regular meals Objective:  After the lesson students know:  what benefits regular meals have;  what times are the best to have meals;  what to include in an everyday diet to make it healthy;  how to plan their everyday meals.

Materials and Resources: an interactive whiteboard, a presentation, 5 sheets of paper in different colours (blue, yellow, red, green, brown) Readiness Level of Pupils: students should have some basic knowledge about nutrition and nutrients.

Expected Outcomes: knowledge of students, students nutritional timetables.

Teaching scenario: Introduction: A teacher asks students to come to the front part of a classroom. The lesson starts with a quiz about healthy nutrition. The teacher reads eight statements and students decide if they are true or false by moving to the back of a classroom.

1.

The basis of a healthy eating pyramid is daily physical activity.

TRUE 2.

We should eat only one portion of vegetables and fruit every day. FALSE 3.

We should drink fizzy drinks every day.

FALSE 4.

Fruit and vegetables contain 90% of water.

TRUE 5.

We should eat five meals every day.

TRUE 6.

We should eat food containing calcium every day.

TRUE 7.

We should drink at least 1.5 litres of liquids.

TRUE 8.

We should eat sweets only occasionally.

TRUE After finishing the quiz the teacher presents a healthy eating pyramid to the class and analyses it with the students. The teacher emphasizes the fact that we generally know what is healthy but we tend to forget about it in our daily practice. As a consequence, it has a negative impact on our health, mood and weight.

The main part of the lesson: The teacher explains that we should eat five meals every day and the times we eat them should be the same every day. Breaks between our meals should last approximately 3-4 hours. It is better to eat less but more frequently. It makes our good health, good mood and slim figure more probable.

The teacher asks the students how many of them eat five meals a day and then asks how many have breakfast / lunch / dinner / tea / supper every day at the same time of a day. Finally, the teacher asks students how long a break between each meal should be.

Comenius project ”Healthy childhood, beautiful life” – good practices

The teacher displays five rules of healthy and regular nutrition on an interactive whiteboard:  Don’t forget to have breakfast! You should eat it not later than 1 hour after you wake up!  You should have your last meal (supper) not later than 3 hours before you go to sleep!  Breaks between meals shouldn’t be longer than 3-4 hours!  You should eat at the same times of a day if it’s possible!  Don’t forget to have two smaller meals (lunch and tea)!

Then the teacher asks students to prepare their own nutritional timetable. The teacher reminds students to take into account their own lifestyle and school timetable. They have to follow the five rules displayed on the whiteboard.

After a few minutes, the teacher lets two or three students read their nutritional timetable.

The teacher reminds students that their demand for energy, nutrients, vitamins and minerals vary because of their sex, age and physical activity. When they are young it is extremely important to provide energy for their body. Girls should take approximately 2100 calories a day while boys approximately 2600 calories a day. The teacher displays the numbers on the board.

The teacher asks students if the amount of energy (calories) should be split equally between meals or they should differ and if their breakfast is similar every day in terms of size and quality.

The teacher says that it is important not only to provide our body with an appropriate amount of energy and other nutrition but also to split the amount of them between different meals.

The teacher reminds students that careful planning is important in order not to waste food.

The teacher gives five sheets of paper to five of the students. They are going to be leaders of groups:  Blue for breakfast  Yellow for lunch  Red for dinner  Green for tea  Brown for supper The task for each leader is to look at the whiteboard (in a moment the teacher is going to display an appropriate proportion of calories for each meal) and gather as many students as it is needed to show a proportions of meals. The aim of this task is to focus students’ attention on right proportions.

After the task, the teacher says that it is not difficult to calculate calories according to the proportions given.

The teacher presents the benefits of five regular meals: 1. The level of energy in our body is stable – and we have energy for whole day!

Comenius project ”Healthy childhood, beautiful life” – good practices

2. If we eat small but frequent meals we don’t feel hungry and we don’t eat snacks!

3. Metabolism is faster and we don’t become fatter!

4. Our diet is more various! and asks questions about how the students understand each of these benefits.

Finally, the teacher presents the proportions of different kinds of food in a daily diet and discusses it with students (e.g. asking what kinds of specific food products each category contains):  5 portions of cereal products  3 portions of vegetables  2 portions of fruit  3-4 portions of dairy products  2 portions of protein-rich products  2 portions of fats Summing up: The teacher displays five questions checking basic knowledge about regular meals. He/ She asks the students these questions and checks how much they remember.

1. How many meals should we have every day?

2. How long breaks should we have between meals?

3. Which meals should be bigger?

4. Which meals should be smaller?

5. Why is having regular meals good for us?

Anticipated problems during the lesson: 1. Lack of interactive whiteboards in some classrooms.

2. The number of students in some classes may make some students not involved in activity showing the proportions of energy for each meal (ideal number of students – 20).

Evaluation: Questions in the summing up stage check students’ knowledge at the end of the lesson.
