LIFE ORIENTATION : Health and Well-being – FOOD.

This is a 7 minute video and worksheet regarding Health and Well-being in relation to food. We look at why eating together (as opposed to tv dinners) are great bonding factors within the family, and the best ways to enjoy food, and why.

The video can be replayed following some discussion after first viewing. It has light (ambient / modern) music in the background with several video clips for each point made.

Coupled with the video is a worksheet which has a Quiz relating to the video, plus extension RESEARCH Activities which will help pupils understand wholistically how food works and how we get roped into habits and ways which we self-destruct in relation to this everyday staple activity which is also a social activity we all need for our daily survival.

Following the research activity sits a Crossword puzzle so as to include all pupils (not just the bright and sparkly ones) but those who perhaps may be slower, but who can still enjoy just scouting around for various food items within a list. This activity is more relaxed and general knowledge so it is aimed at being destressing and not requiring too much overthinking. Great for revision and reinforcing existing knowledge about food.
