Healthy LifeStars, in response to COVID-19 understands that it is now more important than ever, to make programming available to kids through our partner sites and directly to parents and families so that kids may continue to receive the necessary education to develop healthy habits, which prevent childhood obesity and related chronic conditions.
The virtual resources will be organized to reinforce the 3 Healthy Life Habits critical for helping kids learn to live active healthy lives: I Am Active, I Eat Right and I Can Do It.
These lessons are 8-12 minutes in length and teach kids to build tiny healthy habits anchored in the Healthy LifeStars healthy habits approach “I Eat Right!, I Am Active, and I Can Do It!”
The lessons are available, free of charge for partners who have signed a HLS agreement. Distribution to broader audience is possible but not currently planned or funded.
These videos are 30 second videos that introduce a brief concept and encourage young users to complete the challenge and share their success with the hashtag #HealthyLifeStarsAtHome.
Challenges include various physical activities, at home workouts, and healthy snack options for kids and families to make together. Posting on social media is not a requirement but adds to the fun!
Physical Activity Example - Arm Exercises
Nutrition Activity Example - Power Balls Protein Snack
These worksheets reinforce the Healthy Habit lessons but can be used without the virtual lesson to reinforce concepts of eating right, staying active and setting goals. These worksheets are available on our website
These guides are available on our website and are designed to help kids, parents or caretakers have meaningful conversations about staying active, eating right and setting goals.
Each guide comes with an activity that parents or caretakers can do with their children as well as fact-based information about the Healthy Life Habits. Some guides come with a nutritious recipe that kids and their families, even picky eaters will love!
This section provides ideas for physical activities and breaks them down according to indoor, outdoor, games and activities.
