NAME:

Searching for healthy foods can be fun! Hardy has put together a list of his favorite snacks. Since you are helping The OrganWise Guys teach others about good health, why don’t you make up this fun “healthy eat-ing” word search? Just hide the healthy food choices listed below in the puzzle. The first one is done for you. Make sure you hide each food listed. Then randomly fill in the empty boxes with letters. Give it to a classmate and see if they can find all the heart-healthy foods in the word search.

NAME:

Hardy likes to get as much physical activity as he can each day. He knows that exercise helps the body make good cholesterol which keeps arteries clean. He needs to enlarge this picture so that kids will be able to see it on the poster. Can you draw the “healthy heart with the good cho-lesterol” below? Just remember that it needs to be much larger. Then color it so that it really catches the other kids’ attention.
