Wise Kids® Two
A second 9-week curricula serves as a logical follow-on to the base Wise Kids after-school wellness program. Wise Kids Two reinforces and broadens the knowledge about Energy Balance by diving deeper into both sides of the Energy Balance equation. Energy IN lessons focus on the importance of serving size and the role of vitamins and water to healthy decision making. Energy OUT lessons explore muscles and bones to promote greater levels of activity. In addition, children learn how to set goals and develop personal goals for both nutrition and activity.
Program materials follow the Learn-Do-Play format to provide structure and fun to any after-school or summer camp program. And, Energy IN and Energy OUT Challenges continue to offer children a way to easily begin working on simple actions to improve both their eating and physical activity habits at home.
