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
