Get Moving - Get Healthy with New Jersey 4-H
Get Moving - Get Healthy with New Jersey 4-H is an interactive and fun way to learn healthy eating habits, portion sizes, the new Food Pyramid, and simple exercises. The program focuses on understanding MyPyramid, identifying portion sizes, and learning easy ways to exercise.
Key components of the program are activity kits that include the following activities:
- Exercise Challenge
- Finding Your Pyramid
- Healthy Plate
- Measure Up
- Portion Distortion
- Read the Label
- Serving Match
- Think What You Drink
- What Counts
Arrangements can be made to borrow a kit or have your county extension professionals conduct an educational program for a club, school, or after-school program. The kit is also great for community health fairs since it provides quick and easy lessons. The kit can also be used for a Family Fun Event where the entire family takes part in learning about healthy eating and physical activity. Families leave with goals to make healthier changes in their lives.
