Healthy habits chart – optional task

• It is trickier at the moment to keep our healthy habits.

We can’t do everything we normally would and this is

hard for everyone (including adults!)

• Write down all the health habits you want to do on your

‘healthy habits’ table. For example eating a healthy

breakfast (instead of an unhealthy one) or having fresh

air after doing some work by going outside or opening

a window.

• Track how well you do over the week by ticking the box

and writing any comments.
