Toolkit #2: Let's Get Mighty Healthy
It’s the small, often unseen choices that we make, that make the biggest difference in the end. When it comes to our health, this couldn’t be more true. The earlier in life we start forming healthy habits, the greater the chance they’ll stick – and we’ll live longer, healthier, happier lives as a result. Helping you to empower the kids in your classroom to lead healthier lives is one of the Orgamites’ great missions.
The Mighty Healthy Toolkit includes:
A ready-to-go lesson plan and presentation (complete with suggested talking points for every slide). Animated videos kids will love. Printable worksheets, fun class activities and world-class resources for children to take home to their families. (Updated October 2023.)
Teacher Overview
During this lesson (or series of lessons), your students will learn how the health of their organs impacts their overall health, as well as how to take care of their health through the five Mighty Healthy Tips. Along the way, kids will learn how the health of their organs affects their overall health and they’ll also be made aware of the concepts of organ donation and caring for others.

Lesson Presentations
We’ve created two versions.
- The Express Version is perfect for younger children (Key Stage 1) and can be covered in a single lesson.
- The Full Version is ideal for all other age groups, and includes more insights about each health tip and how to really apply it to one’s life.
Interwoven throughout this version, you’ll find a number of fun, optional challenges and class activities. To make your job even easier, we've created supporting Lesson Presentation Notes.
