Prompt for Kids: What’s Your Body Full Of?

Talking to kids about eating healthy sounds like a difficult task, but you can make it easy for little ones to digest with this visual conversation activity.

Give kids a chance to think about what they eat and how it affects them with this fun Q&A drawing activity.

You’ll Need:

  • Paper
  • Crayons
  • Prompts below

Directions:

Have kids fold a piece of paper into 4 equal parts. They are going to draw a picture in each part. For the first box, ask kids what their favorite sugary snacks are? Then tell them to draw an outline of their body and fill it with their favorite sugary snacks such as cookies, candy, and soda. As they draw, talk about sugar with them. Explain that sugar gets into our bloodstream quickly and makes us feel extremely energized very fast. Then explain how it wears off just as quickly and can make us feel extra tired. This is called a “sugar crash.” This can also make us feel hungrier than we are and make us eat more food than we need to. For the second box, ask kids how they usually feel after eating foods with lots of sugar? Tell them to draw themselves and what they might be doing after eating sugary foods. Discuss what they drew. For the third box, ask kids what goes into a smoothie? Then have them draw an outline of their body full of ingredients they would find in a smoothie. While they draw, talk about the benefits of fruits and veggies with them. Explain that vitamins found in fruits and veggies support healthy functioning in all kinds of ways, such as Vitamin A helps vision, Vitamin D makes bones strong, B vitamins make us feel happy, and Zinc fights viruses. For the fourth box, ask kids how they feel after having fruits and vegetables? Then tell them to draw themselves after having a big smoothie full of fruits and veggies. What might their energy be like? What might they be doing?

When all the boxes are done, discuss how these different types of food affect our bodies. Ask kids why it’s important to make good choices about what we put into our bodies. Reinforce what they learn through more talks in the kitchen!
