In this playlist you will find several activities to use in your lessons for awareness about healthy food. Students will be able to compare their own habits to the knowledge about food and the value of it. At the same time, students will see how they relate to other students when it comes to eating habits. Therefore this playlist also can be used as a way of bonding and creating a better understanding of each other.

Students will also learn what the impact of influencers on social media is on themselves. They also investigate how they can influence others, when they try to become an influencer themselves on social media.

Learning goals:

Students will learn the importance of eating a healthy breakfast and how their own breakfast is related to healthy food.
Students learn how influencers can have an important role in what we do and decide and will become aware of how they can have impact themselves.
The last goal is creating awareness of a student’s own health and the influence of breakfast on it.
