Lesson Introduction: Embracing a Healthy Lifestyle

Warm-Up Activity: The "Health Bingo" Game

Objective:

To engage students in a fun and interactive way while introducing the concepts surrounding a healthy lifestyle.

Materials Needed:

• Pre-prepared Bingo cards (5x5 grid) with various healthy lifestyle habits and choices as prompts (e.g., "Drank 2 litres of water today", "Went for a 30-minute walk", "Ate five servings of fruits/vegetables", "Tried a new healthy recipe", "Practised meditation for 10 minutes", etc.)
• Pens or markers
• Small prizes for winners (optional)

Instructions:

1. Distribute Bingo Cards: As students enter the classroom, hand out a Bingo card and a pen to each student. Encourage them to mingle and discuss their experiences related to the prompts on the cards.

2. Explain the Game: Let students know that their goal is to find classmates who have completed the activities listed on their card. They will mark off a square when someone shares that they have done that activity.

3. Set a Timer: Give students 10-15 minutes to network and fill in their cards. Remind them to collect names for each square they fill.

4. Celebrate Wins: Once the time is up, gather the class together. Ask students to share the activities they've marked off. If someone has a line (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), they shout “Bingo!” and can win a small prize if you choose to offer them.

Transition to Lesson Content:

After the Bingo game, initiate a discussion by asking the students what activities they were surprised to learn about others or which ones they already practice regularly. This can lead into a rich conversation about the importance of a healthy lifestyle, what it means, and how it can be integrated into their busy lives as college students.

Key Questions for Discussion:

• What does a healthy lifestyle mean to you?
• Which healthy habits do you already have in place?
• How can we encourage each other to adopt healthier choices?

This engaging entry point not only warms up the class but also sets a collaborative tone, creating a supportive learning environment where students can explore personal development through the lens of healthy living.
