Fit Kid Connection: A Nutrition Education Program for 7th and 8th Graders. Teacher's Workbook [and] Student's Workbook--Reproducible Handouts.
Ohio State Dept. of Education, Columbus.
This educational kit includes a teacher's workbook, a student's workbook, 55 reproducible student handouts, and a 6-session, 60-minute videotape. The program complements the nutrition subject area of Ohio's Competency-Based Program in Health and Physical Education for grades 7-8. Activities are interdisciplinary and closely related to the 9th-grade Ohio Proficiency Test learning outcomes for science, mathematics, reading, writing, and citizenship. The program was developed in response to the overwhelming statistics on childhood obesity and as a means of disease prevention. The program rewards students for making positive behavior changes and helping their families make changes. It also rewards health teachers. The program's video is divided into the following six lessons: What is a Fit Kid?, Shop Smart, Smart Eating on the Run, Smart Moves, Getting the Competitive Edge, and How to Become a Fit Kid. Students learn that they can make healthy food choices that fit their lifestyle, they can become active in a fun way, and they can make the seven changes listed in their Fit Kid Contract to help them become a "Fit Kid."
