Kids Health

Seeing as I am a Health major I thought I would find my first website on a resource that will help elementary student’s to learn about Health. The Website is Kid’s Health and there are many fun games and activities that are on this website that teach students about Health. There is one game called the “Spelling Bee”, where students spell out certain Health terms and find out the definition of that term. There is also another game for the students called “Mission Nutrition”, this game asks you certain questions about nutrition and asks you certain questions as to which foods and drinks are best for you.

I also believe that this website is a great tool for students that are doing a project on a specific area in Health. For example if a student wanted to do a project on the flu, they could simply click on “Everyday illness and injuries” and look for the flu. There it will tell you about all the different aspects to the flu.

The games on this website allow the students to have fun while learning about Health. Also the resources are very helpful to learn about specific areas to Health. I would use this website in a lower elementary classroom in Health class. I would use it when the students have free time as a fun learning activity and or when they are doing research on a Health topic. This websites has many different options to teach your students about basic Health.

Have a great day everyone.
