Setting the Scene:

Imagine this: You are a detective on a mission to uncover the secrets of staying healthy! Today, we’ll embark on an exciting journey through the world of health, where you will solve mysteries related to nutrition, exercise, mental wellness, and hygiene.

🕵️‍♂️ Your Mission:

1. Gather Your Detective Kits:

   • Each group will receive a "Detective Kit" which contains:
     • 1 magnifying glass (for fun!)
     • Clue cards with questions related to our health topics
     • Sticky notes for brainstorming solutions
     • A fun "Health Detective" badge for each member

2. Meet the Mystery:

   • Present a scenario where a fictional character (you can name them) faces health-related challenges. For example: “Meet Jamie, who loves video games but struggles to find time to eat healthily and exercise. Jamie needs your help to feel better, be more energetic, and develop good habits!”

3. Form Teams:

   • Divide the class into small groups of 4-5 detectives. Each group will take turns solving Jamie's health puzzles using the clues in the Detective Kit.

🔍 Clue Hunt:

Get ready to investigate! Each clue will lead you toward understanding important health concepts:

• Nutrition: What foods does Jamie need to eat to feel energized?
• Exercise: How can Jamie incorporate fun activities into their daily routine?
• Mental Health: What can Jamie do to manage stress and stay positive?
• Hygiene: What actions can Jamie take to stay healthy and prevent illness?

🏁 Wrap-Up:
